I agree with this, but I would extend it further. I'm personally all for live and let live BUT not when I have to pay for it. So if you choose to be fat and not do anything about it, you should pay for the damage you cause yourself, same if you are a drug user, or someone who chooses to put yourself in high risk situations. I think as long as you've been made well aware of those risks you should have to deal with the consequences.
I'm of course not talking about if someone is born with a life-threatening condition, or gets one despite an otherwise healthy lifestyle, etc. Nor do I dismiss the fact that bad things happen to reasonably sensible people. I just believe that if people were forced to pay out of their on pockets for the bad choices they made things would be different.
