> If someone gets heart disease because of a bad diet, you may not want there to be an involuntary collective system that covers the cost of their medical treatment, since you don't get any direct benefit from this. (For comparison, a voluntary health insurance based system, with multiple competing private insurers, wouldn't have the same concerns attached). I have no problem with anyone benefiting from the healthcare system regardless of their lifestyle choices. In the long run it benefits everyone to understand that their health and well being is not tied to a profit seeking system that views some people as less worthy of healthcare than others because it would be less profitable to provide care for them.
