I'm agreeing that the current implementation of our public health system is a worst-of-all-worlds option. Weigh 500lbs, don't work, and drink a six pack a day?

I'm agreeing that the current implementation of our public health system is a worst-of-all-worlds option.
Weigh 500lbs, don't work, and drink a six pack a day? You get free healthcare via Medicaid, making the taxpayer shoulder your burden.
Self-employed, 35, and can run a 7 minute mile, but broke a bone? Expect outrageous healthcare costs, deductibles, etc.
The current approach to public health is the epitome of a moral hazard.
