The people that suffer from Type I can never be blamed for their condition and are among those with pre-existing conditions that I addressed earlier. Type II is an entirely different circumstance. Why am I obligated to pay for medication or a doctor's visit for those that don't diet/exercise?

Of course we're now obfuscating the original argument that revocation of insurance = death.

Many type 2 are elderly, and it's more akin to other organ failure that happens as we age.

And anyway, if we should treat people with drug and alcohol addictions with humane kindness, the same goes for everyone. People don't enjoy being overweight and ill, it's practically pushed on them from all sides nowadays.

Education and preventative care for every person would also reduce things like our obesity epidemic, not to mention more regulations on the companies making the monstrous shit that causes it in the first place. Not everything boils down to individual "choice".

Seems like we are destined for those 3 things to be made weaker soon, just when we need them to improve.

Agreed the idea that sickness is only sickness if it was accidental is foolish as I said a" Proper" deals with all elements of health in a populous weather by choice or not

And not matter what were all still paying regardless
