What percentage of 'pre-existing' conditions are due to life choices?

Being a lardo, smoking, risky behavior, etc.
So glad we get to pay for them.

Most. And no one bats an eye when life insurance, auto insurance, etc., is more experience due to life choices.

What is your guess?

No time to link it but there are stats for diseases that are completely preventable. The money spent on them is ridiculous.
Just google cost of preventable diseases. You'll be shocked.

Right. People like BamaAtl and her alter love to conflate "pre-existing" and congenital. Emotion is the only tool they have.

I was shocked that no cost popped up.

What difference does it make? Are you thinking that forced behavior modification would be a good thing? If not, what difference does it make?

It makes a difference because liberals want my money to provide a consequence free existance for these people.

Are you okay with paying for pre-existing conditions that have nothing to do with life choices? Example: Type 1 Diabetes.
Yes or no?

Is there any part of your life that you don't want the Federal government involved in?

I'm in for a certain segment of voluntarily sick and non-compliant.
Send them healthy food instead of letting them buy fried foods, salty snacks and sugar drinks until they decide to get off their asses, get healthy and do better for themselves.
Provide them incentives to get reward points good for cell phones if they quit smoking, lose weight and take their meds you paid for for them.
Why should we spend money on treatment for people who just don't care about themselves?

No one responds to him any longer. Just ignore him. It's the virtue signaling crab over and over.
Reminder, he's an "operative" for the dems. LOL

I would consider it only in the instance that we stop callin it 'insurance.'
Ideally, no I would be forced to pay for those situations.
We have replaced community and family with government.

Probably about 80% and it all starts with diet. Too much sugar and carbs (and not the good kind).
If we all ate good fats, protein and good leafy green carbs healthcare in this country would be a fraction of the issue it is today.
Instead we slow motion poison ourselves then medicate ourselves from the poison until we reach medical hysteresis and die.

What percentage of pre-existinsg that may be due to life choices do you think could be caught early enough on to diminish their impact? Do you think better, more affordable access to preventative care would impact those percentages?
What percentage of Americans do you think make life choices that could negatively impact their health? I'd put that number at 100%.

So if you go to the doctor tomorrow and are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, in an ideal society, you think it should be your responsibility to pay for completely? I think my roommate pays about $400 a month for supplies and doctors visits. That puts people at a serious disadvantage in society by no fault of their own.

Forced behavior modification? Nobody wants that. Well, except for the people that pass the soda taxes, the snack food taxes... and who does that?
I don't care if people want to make poor life choices. At the same time, I don't want to pay for their poor choices in the form of subsidized premiums, my premiums being higher or my deductibles being so high that they make insurance almost worthless.
