    Only if the medical bill isn't paid by the society. IMO everyone should be taken care of, but if that's the case there needs to be some say on how big a burden people aim to become.

    We already sort of do this though. There's sin taxes on alcohol and tobacco, for example. The latest talk is to have a tax on sugar, aka a fatso tax. I'd be ok with that.

    Exactly, but I'd prefer the government to take care of those that haven't made the bad decisions but still need help. I don't think there are any easy answers here.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.
