>>18768If it was possible to attribute medical conditions without error to tobacco/alcohol/drug abuse, would society still be willing to pay for the ensuing bills via healthcare? After all, healthcare is a system based on solidarity, and if people take money from it by abusing drugs, even when today their consequences are well-known, the consumption is a lack of solidarity in itself.
I wonder if the medical system already works like this, and doctors will priorize a non-drug addict over a drug addict, given they have equally critical diseases.
No.18791
>>18790Can we go a step above and also deny healthcare for people with injuries that were preventable?
No.18792
>>18791This is not the witty retort you think it is, because the answer is easily yes. Note that the care isn't denied, but the insurance payment. I'd prefer a system where they are certain activities like drug abuse, motorbiking, some extreme sports, which are classified as "do at your own risk". You can do them, but don't expect society to pay for the consequences. It's like risky driving, if you go too fast, insurance will cover way less of the consequences if an accident happens, so it's not like this principle is outrageous in any form. And the reason why it works is that driving too fast can usually be proven. If it ever can be proven that your health issues are caused by obviously careless behaviour, then it should be handled the same way.
Kinda annoying that drug addicts hide their egoistic behaviour behind the veil of solidarity and cry "inhumanity" whenever they get called out. In truth, it's the other way around, I think the current situation is inhumane, where people who have accidents have to wait for treatments because idiots clog up resources, and everybody has to pay more. Or, if you prefer the no u-version: Do you want little Timmy to die because a heroine addict just OD'd needs urgent treatment? Why do you want to murder children reeee.

Ignorantly having an unhealthy lifestyle isn't restricted to just drug use/abuse.
You either have to advocate both positions or none. Otherwise you are an hypocritical narcissistic sub human, who fails at even simple logical coherences and therefor should get the right to vote revoked and prohibited from attending public discussions like social media or EC as an active participant.
And the unhealthy lifestyle is just the first thing that comes to mind. Additionally you are not only damaging your own health, but also the health of the whole human population and the planet, if you decide to use a car over cycling or public transportation out of an unhealthy convinience decision.

What about officially prescribed drugs? (and their medical consequences?)
I've tried multiple prescribed drugs, but what I found the most helpful is good old cannabis. I had self-harming behaviour issues in my teens. These tendencies still come up from time to time, but smoking a nice joint gets rid of it. Sure, i might tend to overdo it and my consume could be described as abuse sometimes, but i had more issues, problems and side effects with all prescribed drugs i've taken. I didn't care for the legality nor that i had/have to pay the primary costs myself instead of public health insurance, since my own health was and is a higher priority.

>>18793I don't think it would be more efficient, it may even be less efficient, since it would require some serious bureaucracy to keep tack of things. I'd also not necessarily call it more moral, but more just. Of course there would be an outrage about "who are you to decide who lives and who dies" and "can't someone think of the poor people who can't pay the bills" or whatever. But I like the idea that people get empowered to influence their fate though their behaviour better than the current system, where nothing matters and you get away with too much crap in my opinion. There's also no need to put this into overdrive and enforce total Ubermensch behaviour. But surely there is a middle ground which encourages a healthy lifestyle while still allowing the occasional McDonalds XL menu.
>>18836>Would you deny support/medical aid to people who failed a suicide attempt?Like I said before: I wouldn't deny medical treatment, but I would deny paying for self-inflicted problems. In this context, if a suicide attempt draws a lot of medical resources, and it turns out to not be the result of a severe psychological issue, but something like "GF left me now I'm sad, gonna kill myself", I think it's legit to receive a bill for that. Like it or not: Every cent taken from the health system is taken away from someone else, and if that someone else is a person which hadn't the choice to realistically avoid their issue, then I'd have a really hard time explaining to them why they can't have their treatment because there's no money left. Luckily, no one needs to do this, because the effect is hidden beneath enough layers of obscurity to be traceable. If it was, I'd expect riots tbh.
>What about officially prescribed drugs?Obviously not, but that's included in my assumption that it would be possible to tell whether a health issue was caused by glaring carelessless or not. I am aware that a lot of constellations can be constructed where the situation might be ambiguous, but that's in my opinion no reason to reject the whole idea. After all, everything related to law and justice is a field with equally big impact on the individual, and is also riddled with subjective interpretations, arbitrary definitions and gray areas. Still, rules have been established and enforced for eternity.

But I guess it's not a moral thing that drives you:
>then I'd have a really hard time explaining to them why they can't have their treatment because there's no money leftI've formulated the thought in my mind that the elderly who medically extend their lives for what amounts to at times amounts to mere months of low quality of life followed by slightly delayed death - all of this at a very high cost for us, the taxpayers. Should we have overcrowded hospitals in which healthy and young people struggle to find medical care from doctors and nurses that are overworked by walking corpses, the drug addicts and motorcyclists?
>the effect is hidden beneath enough layers of obscurity to be traceableYou know what isn't? The fiscals costs of each patient. What they've put back into the system and what they're expected to keep taking from it. A good functioning social democratic system requires fiscal responsibility.
In 2054, every time you visit the hospital, a worker for the European Health Insurance Review will take check each hospital bill and, through consultation with medical professionals and adhering to European rules on health and equity, will determine if your visit was superfluous, self-inflicted or innate to your condition and decide a corresponding compensation penalty fee. After reviewing cases for a 7 hour workday, this worker will return home. He will eat bread, drink water and fall asleep happy that he is doing his part in improving our common social infrastructures.

Strategically, America has the possibility to eliminate competitors, and, if this should not be possible, at least keep them out of their own market to eliminate dependency on increasingly unstable trade partners. One method would be raising the cost of imports while impacting the cost of exports in a compartively smaller measure. (done.)

The costs of German reunification (an act of madness Helmut Kohl committed out of pure self interest) are hard to guestimate, but the probable range after 34 years is somewhere between 2,000 billion and 3,000 billion, and growing by 100 billion per year. That is about Germany's total government debt.
But that paints an incomplete picture, the situation is worse. The debt burden lessened West German gdp growth, gdp per capita could be much higher. This cost aggregated over my working life could easily be another 600,000€.
First, they blackmailed us: "kommt die d-mark, bleiben wir, kommt sie nicht, geh'n wir zu ihre" - either the d-mark is introduced or we will all go to west germany. They chanted that at protests. This is when West Germany should have closed it's borders and told them to stick their demands were the sun doesn't shine. Instead, they were given the west German currency, and literally thousands of billions in handouts on top of that. Since then, they complain that evil west Germans came and stole all their socialist achievements.
These "people", in the vaguest sense of the word, owe me 1.000.000€.
And that's just ossis. All the money that went to EU and non-Ossi-immigrants not included. The cost caused by an artificially low currency not included. Downward pressure on wages caused by immigration not included.
During the past three to four decades, every single west German, man, woman, child, senior citizen, was robbed of millions of Euros, by the failed policies of reunification, open borders, eu-membership, the Eurozone, etc.

They will only be allowed back home after big business has bought all those homes for dimes on the dollar, then, people will have to rent back their own homes from slum lords.
Oh, and climate change is going to destroy the world economy with natural disasters not by 2100 or. 2050, but this decade. Collapse is not coming, collapse is here. Now. Major tipping points have been triggered, no level of emissions control is gone to change that, no amount of so-called Green energy is going to change that.
Billionaires only have their mouthpieces tell us that there is still a chance to lessen impacts so the sheeple remain calm and keep slaving and and consooming so the billionaires can make more money and buy more land and water and built more doomsday shelters.

Honestly it’s kind of amusing to see Musk in US politics. In a short span of time he went from reddit soyence spaceman to being a twitter chud and it’s funny how the people who worshipped and hated him basically switched sides even though he’s still a cringe retard propped up by fed money.

> Have you once posted anything positive about UkrainiansWell, I praised Gogol in the literature thread. :D
I wish the best for Ukrainians, they're our brothers. And this is why Ukrainian state should be abolished. There is hardly anything good which I can say about it. It's a totalitarian proxy state which uses its population as a cannon fodder for American empire. Its ideology is built on hatred, larp, lies and betrayal. Even replacing current Kiev/Washington administration with current Moscow administration would be a huge improvement.

Think of it this way. That post was made pre-COVID and, in that time, the government has only grown more in its ability to exercise and project power over its own people.
