What about the idea that your dependency on your health protection could be affected by things like availability, quality issues, etc?

My wife is a diabetic, and I absolutely cringe at the thought that her insulin supply could be limited or tainted.

My wife didn't have a choice about being dependent on her medicine. But you did.

I don't mean to be callous but I'm not sure I'm drawing a direct line here? How does my comment imply I want some interruption in your wife's insulin supply?

It doesn't. And I made no such suggestion about wanting interruption in medicines.

I merely questioned the wisdom of voluntarily making oneself dependent on an uninterrupted, untainted supply of medicine.

Ah! I see then we agree.
