    They shouldn’t get sick in the first place. The focus should be on prevention, that’s what is cheaper and more helpful.

      Fuck me, you’re a moron.

      ‘Hey, you with the chronic illness! Why didn’t you try not to get sick?’

      I don’t like hoping that someone suffers a spinal injury in a car accident only to be told it’s their fault, and if they’d chosen not to become disabled they’d be able to walk and live free from constant unbearable pain, yet here I am.

      I think you may be getting unfairly downvoted for this particular comment. Because yes, the focus should be on prevention - lack of exercise and poor diet on the physical side and the breakdown of in-person community and brainrot screen time on the mental side.

      Too many people are losing control of their lives for avoidable reasons and that is what should be addressed.

      The point obviously remains that removing people’s support after they have become ill is a bad idea and there are also people who are sick/disabled for unavoidable reasons e.g accidents, violence, genetic disorders etc.

      I hope this conversation has helped change your mind about sick people a bit. We’re all guilty of not thinking things through sometimes and there are a lot of malevolent voices shouting for our attention.

          Great idea. But it’s far from the case that all forms of illness are preventable.

          Of course; if you read the third paragraph of my you’ll see that we agree.
