    Right. And that is a choice that was made. You could make a choice to set up a framework to charge them more for their decisions. Instead you and the progressive public are choosing to accept the cost, and then complaining about that cost.

      Oh right, I totally forgot that I can just waive my magic wand and change that for everyone, so I have no right to complain.

      I guess while I’m at it I might as well waive the magic wand so everyone has perfect health, right? Cut straight to the chase.

      What? I can’t do that?

      Could you believe the audacity I have to point out that under the current status quo, unhealthy people are having their healthcare costs subsidized by healthy people? Because that’s fundamentally how insurance works?
