Sure. Canada figured this out a long time ago - it’s much, much cheaper to pay out death benefits than it is to treat the sick, especially the chronically ill.

look for care based upon past behavior: a smoker with COPD or emphysema?
here’s your albuterol and some O2….. next? you have lung cancer? have some pain pills. nope, sorry, fentanyl patches aren’t covered and since you smoked, you aren;t eligible for chemo or surgery.

next?
