Bottom line is: this is a glaring example of how assuming personal responsibility (health care, housing, etc) for the amorphous mass of people (including those with destructive habits, sloth, etc.) leads to skyrocketing costs & undue burdens for everyone - everyone who is even remotely able to pay, that is.
   Good health is not a right. It is a goal which should be earnestly sought by each individual.  Money is our recognized medium of exchange. If you can afford something & have the $ & inclination to buy it - its yours, but unavailable to those with lesser ability or inclination to pay - similar to a new car.
