re: #160 buzzsawmonkey

Here’s a philosophical question; should someone who intentionally infects themself with a disease such as AIDS, which requires expensive, ongoing, lifelong treatment, be given a free pass under the new Health For Everyone regime?

We know that they will get that free pass. But why should they when the overweight, or smokers, or any number of other people engaging in “unhealthy lifestyles” are going to clearly be stigmatized?

Buzz - what makes you think that people with AIDS aren’t stigmatized?
