Without socializing of medical costs I completely agree. But if you are asking other people to pay for a part of the consequences of your decisions then you should accept that those other people can constrain the decisions you can make.

The US govt makes medical information available online perhaps to give a more informed decision. "IL-6 Activities in the Tumour Microenvironment. Part 1" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6765074/#:~:text=and%20cancer%20development-,Pro%2Dtumour%20functions%20of%20IL%2D6,is%20vital%20in%20cancer%20formation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6765074/#:~:tex.... "Serum Level of Interleukin-6 in Patients with Oral Tongue Squamous cell Carcinoma" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4461844/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4461844/ "Interleukin-6 role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma progression" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5698512/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5698512/ I also know from Google Scholar, that copper increases IL-6, penicillin breaks down into penicillamine, used to treat Wilson Disease, a copper metabolism difference, and I also know that Omega 3's look promising for reducing IL6. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29803716/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29803716/ And thats just an example of a cursory look into SCC. Socialised medical costs, isnt always a panacea, knowledge and honesty is the closest you will get to a panacea for medicine.
