I don't want to pay for medical problems people bring on themselves.
Just like I believe there should be no healthcare coverage for a victim who wasn't wearing his seatbelt; he should have to pay the bill. If you smoke, drink heavily, or do other dumb shit that you choose to hurt yourself with, it should not hurt everyone else's wallets.
Drinking heavily, like eating a "high-fat diet", is not something you measure truly objectively so I believe their should be no universal healthcare. Just like censorship, it is a slippery slope in which it is nearly impossible to fairly draw the line. People should be held accountable for the circumstances they create. Part of being "free" is benefiting or faulting on your own actions...not anybody else's.
