@tek @grouchox don't get me wrong, sometimes our choices do lead to negative health outcomes.
But choices don't happen in a vacuum. That person who didn't visit a dentist for ten years? They couldn't afford to. Sure they could've chosen to not pay for rent, not pay their car payment, etc. But that's not really a good choice either, is it?
Or maybe they suffer from anxiety or depression. Maybe they were never taught how vital your teeth are to your health.
