Then maybe the whole publicly funded aspect of health-care has to be re-approached because it doesn't reflect the reality that Canadians expect to live in a free society where behavior isn't dictated by the state of the governments coffers. Maybe if the government didn't write a blank check for everyone's health care needs, actually bothered to calculate everyone's risk like actuaries,and then proceded to penalize those who participated in activities that increased their risk profile we wouldn't need these nuisence laws.
