If by doing "bad things" (uh), we prevent more bad things or worse things from happening, then I'm going to advocate for "bad things". As a thought experiment, why don't you think of what would happen if healthcare wasn't heavily subsidized by Governments? I'll even make it easier for you...just compare various quality of life statistics between countries where there is quality healthcare provided to citizens by the Government (no, US doesn't qualify...Scandinavian countries do) and a country where the Government doesn't do that (US states that chose to participate in ACA Medicaid expansion qualify).
