Man Uses $1m Win To Finally Visit Doctor, Gets Terminal Cancer Diagnosis, Dies

[John V]

I understand that.  I’m asking you to think hypothetically for one second, since you’re so quick to toss people away like garbage for their poor lifestyle choices.  Would you be okay if your insurance company took that same approach to what they’re willing to cover you for?  

No, and neither would my boss. He'd change insurance.

I've seen this many times before around, here, but this thread is amazing me in showing how some of oyu just feel like you have no control over your lives, and that everything comes down to luck or government policy.

So, you’d rather just penalize them?

No, Id rather that they put down the cigarette or donut and go to the gym. Wouldn't you? Wasn't the point of the penalties in Obamacare that people buy insurance rather than be penalized?

The problem is, you have yet to demonstrate this asserted “rule” that people who work harder are necessarily more  financially secure.

It's a general rule. It obviously doesn't apply in every single instance. I thought that was obvious but if not - there you go.
