It already happens. Friend of mine (Ontario) had to quit smoking and stay off before he could get treatment for his lungs. There was a women (also Ontario) who recently was denied liver treatment because she refused to quit drinking. Many surgeries are also be denied to overweight people until they get down to some target weight.
Climbing a tree, while not the safest activity, is a recreational risk that only harms youself. Refusing a vaccine that is meant to protect you and your community, because you did your research on Facebook, is a willfully ignorant act that poses a risk to you and MANY other people. People are too stupid to make their own decisions in regard to public health.
Requirements for transplants are not a refusal of care, it's triage to make sure that the limited supply of donor organs go to the people most likely to survive after transplant. Weight requirements are also linked directly to survival rates... we don't do surgery on people who are likely to die from it.
And we shouldn't waste our very limited health care treating a disease that was contracted due to an active and ignorant decision.
So you think children who have no choice in whether or not they get vaccinated should suffer and die because they have idiots for parents?
