No.
People shouldn't be shamed away from healthcare because of past behavior.

This line of thinking turns into:
"People who ate ice cream shouldn't get insulin"
"People who smoked shouldn't get chemotherapy"
"People who didn't take blood pressure medicines shouldn't get care for heart attacks"
"People who ate ice cream shouldn't get insulin"
"People who smoked shouldn't get chemotherapy"
"People who didn't take blood pressure medicines shouldn't get care for heart attacks"
And ultimately it turns into people just accepting that necessary care can be withheld if there's a justification, whether it's patient-blaming or not.
No one is perfect.
Everyone deserves all necessary care.
Instead of punitive responses to behaviors that risk health harm, we need humane, equitable solutions that promote and enable more the more beneficial-to-health alternatives.
