I understand this but it is thoroughly besides the point. The point I was making, and trying to discuss, is whether "universal health care" should be less available to people who refuse even to try to keep themselves healthy. I talked about the person who weighs 300 lbs, smokes, etc., and talked about that person refusing to attend meetings with an exercise counselor.
It should have been clear that this hypothetical person is also not getting regular exercise, but so what? Responding with "actually, fat people who occasionally exercise can be relatively healthy" reveals how current you are with the research, but that's about it. It's as if you were to criticize the font I used.

I regret having left the impression that I was disagreeing with your point in any significant way.
