They can, hence the mandates for healthcare.

> What’s next? Forcing you to use protection during intimate activities?

If you start creating negative externalities for everyone else, then yea.

If you are arguing from a libertarian perspective of you can do whatever you want, then I would demand you get a tattoo saying “do not give me medical aid” prominently on your forehead so my taxes aren’t wasted on someone who doesn’t want to contribute to society but expects aid from society.

If you are are cool with that deal I am actually ok with you, but don’t be surprised if we drop your body into a Zoroastrian Tower of Silence the moment you go unconscious from a car accident and can’t pay for medical expenses.
