You do realize most chronic diseases that inflict the biggest burden on the healthcare system are self inflicted by diet, drinking, and smoking? All personal choices.

I am sure you'll be the first to explain this to lung cancer survivors who dont and have never smoked or those with liver conditions that dont drink to excess.
Did you know that cancer is also determined by environment and genetics?

Many chronic conditions are auto-immune. I'm 45, and two years ago my immune system was triggered. There are so many of these illnesses. I'm thin, never smoked, and I exercised. Now, I take a medicine that would cost $5,000 per month if not insured. Without it, my spine would fuse and I would still be in horrible pain. Believe me, you know plenty of people with similar chronic conditions. Many illnesses are NOT preventable.
