Normally, the medical profession avoids conditioning care on behaviour. For example, they treat lung cancer in a smoker (who almost certainly caused their own cancer) just as vigorously as prostate cancer (normally not much if at all influenced by behaviour). But if the medical system is overwhelmed as a direct result of certain individuals’ behaviour, it would be bizarre not to attempt to prioritize innocent victims over the perpetrators. Enough already.
