This line of reasoning - you can't take risks that would get you sick, because society has to pay for that - is precisely why conservatives see expanding the socialization of medical costs as driving the restriction of individual liberty in the name of the public fisc. https://t.co/IMcUDJ5JHf
No, my argument is that governments do & will use this line of reasoning to justify regulation. You continue to avoid this.

And my point is that they don’t seem to do that in the way you mean in, say, Norway or Germany or Japan. Do they? So by “governments” you mean where, exactly? Savings aren’t achieved in this way and they wouldn’t be achieved that way in the US either.

So—are Germans not permitted to ride motorcycles? Are Norwegians not permitted to smoke? Nobody is making this argument anywhere where *there already is* universal health insurance. That kind of undermines your point.
