Quarantining people who do not behave themselves, HAHAHAHA good one not even Stalin went that far and they are calling me a socialist
. On a more serious note, eliminating the disease instead of treating it. WOW man, what drugs are you using ? I want some! We have tried that with malaria ( didn't work ) we are trying it with the flu and the common cold ( it doesn't work ) we are trying to eliminate child diseases and you guessed it by now ( it doesn't work ) those diseases are still here. and of course Albed it's my own bloody fault for not sleeping in a bunker and a musquito stings me.

Why would insurance make people get checkups if they're already engaging in behaviour that shows disreguard for their health as with HIV and Hepatitis. They need reasons to stop endangering themselves instead of a safety net to keep them alive once they've already screwed up.

It won't. However it will make them have a check up much sooner therefor the disease might be discovered earlier which in it's turn stops the spreading of the disease. Besides that their is nothing and i mean nothing wrong with looking after someone albed, this entire world isn't revolving around YOU!!!!

Hmmm now let me think here. How many people die in the united states from Ecoli 0157 after eating a burger somewhere? Oh wait eating at burger king is a no no so is eating at mcdonalds. Am i to understand that you check the kitchen in every restaurant before you go eat there?
OH pssssst albed, a dusk mask does not protect you from a viral infection .... never have never will.

Okay i admit that africa crap i threw at you was a bit on the lame side. However most diseases you will contract in your life are beyond your own control. therefor albed you can't keep your statement up well you can, you are entitled to your own opinion, whether it is the best one i heard is irrelevant. i could extend this to driving a car and having an accident for no other reason then some granny gets an heart attack behind the wheel. you can no longer board a plane because of sars. you are not able to walk the streets anymore. all because you are taking health risks when doing so.
