Look this is my field of study, and I can tell you unequivocally that the healthcare sector is working very hard to stamp out the outdated views that you're supporting.
It's no different to the view that the poor are to blame for their poor health - we now know that overcrowding, social isolation, unemployment, poor access to facilities, poor access to nutritious food, and a range of other factors that are well outside of their control are what determines their poor health.
The fact that not enough people are accessing a particular health service is NOT an indication that there is something wrong with healthcare patients. It's not an indication that they're stupid, or that they're ignorant, or anything that puts the blame on the patient. Is an indication that there's something wrong with healthcare delivery.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
