When you have to pay the price for your choices.

I’d encou­rage you to read yesterday’s post before this one.

To conclude on tobac­co, you should know that, like insu­rers, my logic believes that a smo­ker should have to consi­der a penal­ty on their health care. That said, this point in par­ti­cu­lar, put­ting your own health and life at risk, is at the heart of our Que­bec pro­blem. Since our health care sys­tem is avai­lable to all citi­zens without excep­tion, the cost of health care resul­ting from their toxic choices weighs hea­vi­ly. If we could address this issue, we could revi­sit our approach to public health.

Now, going back to our epic struggle, how many citi­zens and how much time and ener­gy does it take to block or reverse a deci­sion made by an elec­ted lea­der? If we accept a deci­sion today, in a mat­ter of seconds, can that deci­sion be rever­sed just as easi­ly? If the human in a posi­tion of power does not change their men­tal model, are we pri­so­ners of it? Who can stand up to this titan? The inter­na­tio­nal com­mu­ni­ty, as we can see, is not inter­es­ted in this kind of pro­blem and will try to punish the offen­der as best it can, but this will almost always have conse­quences on the alrea­dy sub­jec­ted population.

To be continued…
