@steve1279 Well, we are the only developed country where people are "responsible for themselves" -- and the one with the MOST obesity, opioid addiction, teen pregnancy, cocaine abuse, and . . . COVID. Some of the worst infant mortality, maternal mortality, and shortest lifespans found in developed, "Western" countries. Working out just as "market logic" predicted! /s
If you think "healthy eating" can prevent disease before age 65, wow are you in for a surprise. You don't know any young people with cancer? And you don't know how petrified they are to lose everything? You also don't know most addicts find a way to obtain Medicaid? And that people looking to start a business fear the health care costs, not the other risks?

@steve1279 It's a great idea to teach kids to eat properly. Have you noticed what good, wholesome food costs now? I spend the money, and never go to restaurants. Try avoiding all GMOs. There is no mandatory labeling.
In any event, the POINT is, in countries with universal health care, people take MORE personal responsibility, not less. Why? Well, whatever the reasons may be, the fact of having health care for everyone does not cause them to have poor health habits. They don't say, "well, I don't have to pay for it!" Of course not. The incentive is intrinsic.
