That's a waste of money no matter who is paying for it and no matter whose loved one has the bum joint. You don't need to be biased against the obese or a nanny authoritarian to recognize that.

David Crosby received a liver transplant, after years of self-abuse of just about every form. Yet, he has managed to turn his life around (well, except, he's still an extremist liberal; but there is no treatment for that). My brother, who had been overweight for a substantial portion of his life, got a knee replacement a couple years ago, and now makes an effort to take care of himself.

I don't think you can just cut people off from services because they haven't live the life someone judges to be appropriate.
