True, but imo living in a broken and profit-maximising healthcare system should not serve as an excuse for permitting yourself to make shitty life choices. The situation op described would have been irresponsible wherever they lived.

We should all eat healthy within our means. We all should exercise as much as possible. We all should do our best to not get sick or injured in the first place - which imo includes not getting filleted by our friends.

No. We should have free health care for all. Period. None of that other stuff is relevant to our shitty health care system.

Exactly. Personal accountability is important regardless of the system. Expecting a healthcare system to be a safety net for irresponsibility is madness.
