It isn't fair to begin with.

A athletic person gets health care, a fat person gets health care.

In worst case we just triage.

But this would definitely be something the society would be allowed to regulate:

The society can say 'you can take any drug you want but if you take x you become second in line'

That would be transparent and fair but we don't even have this type of discussion.

And while I get Ritalin from my doctor the other one is with one leg in prison for either speed or crystal.

At the end of the day keeping this hidden is more of a problem than not. Educating people is critical but no one feels educated by police.




> A athletic person gets health care, a fat person gets health care.

And the fat person may well have a lower lifetime total healthcare cost.


I was actually not trying to evaluate this.

When I meant athletic person I actually thought about injuries.
