      Wrong. A moral hazard is when you are incentivized to increase risk *because* you won't bear costs from it. In this case, going about your life because you aren't the one likely to die of covid. Or when you get bullshitted into thinking you're safe and go back to work anyway.

      Or retroactively not bearing the burdens TODAY of actions taken previously knowing there was real downside risk. The perspective shifts as it relates to time but the implications of what is morally hazardous do not.

      I don't even know how to respond to that, what exactly are you trying to talk about? You do know that a moral hazard isn't meant to be a threat to morality, right?

      Considering that nobody actually predicted COVID-19, specifically, would happen or based their "lifestyle choices" on it he's obviously not talking about COVID-19 specifically but the general principle that fat people are entitled to healthcare

      "Moral hazard" is a term from the insurance industry and its most direct application to this situation is the justification for rejecting health insurance applications from fat people by labeling obesity a "pre-existing condition"

      On the grounds that it's not fair to "force" thin people to pay for fat people's expensive health problems, and if fat people know they won't be able to get insurance if they're fat it'll motivate them to lose weight This is a very popular opinion among evil shitheads

      The part where it's bad for crunching the numbers because "healthy" people have to pay for "unhealthy" people is called adverse selection The part where they worry this may actually increase the level of fatness in the population is what's called moral hazard

      To suggest the concept of moral hazard stay frozen in the realm of insurance actuaries is silly. It has a much broader application in public policy and you must know this. But keep wandering...

      No, I'm not saying it's only applicable to insurance, I'm just saying insurance is the most obvious example for its being deployed in evil ways

      Applied broadly it's a general term for the idea that we should let the world punish people for their misfortunes in order to hold them accountable for whatever part of those misfortunes was caused by "bad choices" In hopes this will reduce misfortune by reducing "bad choices"

          That doesn't happen, of course, the suffering just continues, but it lets rich people walk right past starving poor people with their wallets closed and feel self-righteous about it

          And since we use being fat (Hi, me too!) so often : Last I read, the research suggests that fat cells are a one way trip, or in other words each time your weight goes up your body decides it is the new normal and tries to maintain there. Losing weight is fighting genetics
