Um, type-1 diabetes is not a lifestyle choice. So you must be talking about type-2. And people do get lung cancer who have never smoked a day in their life. Drug addiction often starts quite innocently. Percocet after a major surgery turns into something quite different down the line for some. Things are not always what they seem, that's all I'm saying.

I agree with you, but dealing with preventable diseases are the number 1 cause of waste in our healthcare system. We are the best ever at keeping alive people who are intent on killing themselves by their lifestyle choices, and that's a huge cost to the whole system.
