That's simply more of the same kind of thinking that gave you private health care in the first place.

Tax alcohol and tobacco and unhealthy food, and put that cash into the medical system.

Everyone deserves health care. Unnecessary plastic surgery is probably the only thing I wouldn't agree to cover, but that only if it isn't a medical necessity. There is such a thing as necessary plastic surgery, yes; burn victims and birth defects come to mind.

Deciding that folks who don't meet your standards of behaviour are somehow not worth saving or keeping is just another one of those finger-pointing, blaming things that Americans are so prone to.
