    You think you’re better than everyone else, I get it.

    Even if you are and you’re not just wearing rose coloured glasses about your own life what about random accidents?

    I think this is the right first step and I hope people like you get outnumbered by people like me who are based in a little more reality.

      If you had read my comment in it’s entirety you’d have seen that I’m not opposed to paying for things such as random accidents. But something like Type 2 Diabetes isn’t a random accident and is entirely preventable by the vast majority of people who have it.

        You said ‘certain accidents and injuries’ as if you want the ability to dictate what medical services other people get.

        There’s a really easy way for you to get the medical system you want and it is to simply move to the states.

        I don’t think we need to recreate their failed system here.

          I meant in more of a way that we should hold those responsible for causing accidents before using tax money if it’s reasonable to do so.

          Ex. If a drunk driver hurts someone, make the drunk driver personally liable for payments until they are bankrupt before using tax dollars to fill the gap. Or if someone gets hurt at work, back the company responsible until it is bankrupt, and make the injured party the #1 creditor during bankruptcy proceedings before using tax dollars.

            Or if they’re fat or enjoy sex you can charge them until they’re bankrupt because you don’t want to pay your tax dollars for them?

            Go to the states and stop complaining.
