Do you like making people who choose to be healthy pay the cost of others who consistently make bad health risk choices?

Like getting old?

If you spread the risk evenly to the whole population then sure maybe you are getting ripped a bit when you are young... but eventually you will be old and will get a good deal.

... and bad things do happen to people who make GREAT health decisions. You can't control your gene pool.

I mean spread it over the entire population, make everyone buy health insurance, just like automobile insurance. I haven't made ANY bad health choices and haven't even USED my insurance, and it just went up 20% anyway, so the risk is being spread around one way or another now, mostly by insurance companies cherry picking IMO...
