> The problem is that unhealthy people do not want to pay the full amount of their risk-adjusted rate into the risk-pool.

You think it's a problem that those with genetic disabilities don't want to be priced out of having health care?

Most unhealthy people are unhealthy by choice.

You got any numbers on that or just bigot bravado?

[formerly_proven]

The majority is somewhere between overweight and vastly obese, which is a choice (even in HN's latest boondoggle of "you lose weight if and only if you are injected the right drugs", obesity remains a choice). Similarly, the vast majority of people don't even meet the basic WHO guidelines on physical activity, which is even more obviously a choice. It is well-known that making these choices precipitates virtually every common, serious disease. Therefore, most people are unhealthy by choice.
