    Because the required medical care for the damage those things cause is already guaranteed

    Lol, no, you’re still going to have to pay for that.

      The (lifesaving) care is guaranteed, whether you are able to pay or not. The resulting debt could cause a lot of problems, but few of them contribute immediately to life expectancy.

      Quality of life, sure. Feeling financially secure in your present position, absolutely. But not how long your ticker keeps ticking.
