let me put it this way:
i'm type 1 diabetic. it has nothing to do with things a person might have power over - like being fat (which i'm not and never have been). the prevailing theory is you get hit by some virus and that's that.
ok. so if my diabetes causes me to go to the emergency room, ER is gonna treat me. they're not gonna let me die because i don't have insurance - i.e. the money to pay. they're gonna treat me, yell at me for "not taking care of my diabetes", then slap me with a bill. that's the law.
the way this plays out is that i never get the care i need, i don't get to die, parts of me will be amputated one by one over a period of years, and the debt will just rack up and up and up.
that's the law.
