    Policies that punish failure to show "personal responsibility" seem to have mixed results -- or cost more and make people's health worse. @DhruvKhullar @nytimeshttp://nyti.ms/2Fuxq3E

        These attitudes of disease as "intrinsic" to the patient are contrary to the evidence of the influence of environmental factors on health. And yet they persist, even/especially among providers. It's infuriating. Similarly, with the proposed req for Medicaid recipients to work.

        Multiple factors affect individual health status. At the societal level, how about a living wage and also reasonable workload for everyone with employer support for healthier work practices like short "walking around" breaks and time to workout during the day?

        How incredibly selfish it is to expect others to care for me when I make no attempt to take care for myself. #personalresponsibility
