Trying hanging around a chemo room someday. You’ll see very few “obese” people. Sadly, you’ll see a surprising number of very young, very fit people in there.
People who think they control their own fate WRT their health are very naive. If you remain uninsured simply because you are young or fit, you’re asking for serious problems, IMHO.[/quote]
How many people get treated each year for cancer (not counting skin cancer)? Then the 2nd question is, how many people are obese? We all know what obesity leads to. At the current rate, I suspect there are or will be a lot more people getting treated for diseases that were caused (one way or another) by obesity. I agree with you that even if you’re healthy, you’ll still need health insurance. Be it, because of hereditary problems or just plain old accidents. You can’t control those things. So, if you think you’re invincible, think again. You can’t control those cost, but, you can control your diet and healthiness.
