Let's redefine 'high risk.' Bad genes, pay. Bad lifestyle, pay. The only ones with low rates, good genes and good behavior. Optimal weight, body fat, blood sugar, blood pressure, pulse, resting and working heart rates. All others, fuck off.there is an aspect of 'big brother' here, I will admit, but my guess is that smokers who wish to pay for operations out of pocket would get treated in a timely fashion.
If taxpayers are paying the freight, some risk management assumptions are appropriate to be made.
I doubt that anyone would think twice if a 90 year old patient were turned down by their insurance company for a heart transplant....a similar assumption.
Which is cool. I want the restaurants/bars to all go non-smoking, non-meat, non-cholestrol. How long are restaurants expecting to be in business, cause God knows, bars in such should have closed a millenia ago.
