Overall, I do believe people have a right to have a basic standard of health, given that huge corporations lay waste to our environment and put chemicals in our water, food, and air which severely limit our lifespan without health care. They need to give back.
ON THE OTHER HAND....
I feel people need to stand up in this country and take some goddamn responsibility for their actions. Gorging oneself on fast food, or laying around and getting fat, or smoking two packs a day should not be covered. HOWEVER, treatment or the opportunity to reverse these behaviors ought ot be covered, like a pair of running shoes or something.
Perhaps instituting mandatory "Exercise at Work" programs like I've heard about in Japan, similar to what we had in grade school, would help do the trick. I don't know the answer, but that seems like a decent start.
So, in a way, yes, everyone deserves to have illnesses and defects detected beforehand, and treated if they suddenly raise their ugly head. On the other hand, there's also no need to have it turn into the welfare system that Britain's Health System has fallen into, either.
That's me two cents, matey!
Your llamas will be calm under most circumstances. Grouse flying up from under the feet will unglue the calmest llama
Post-college, pumpkin-defenestrating, tricycle racing angst. Whoosh.
