Should we not pay our doctors when we keep well under their advice
and care? But we pay them only when we fall sick and we pay more if we remain
sick.
Should we not pay the car mechanic if the car remains in

fall sick rather than the people who work hard to keep in good shape.
In some countries, you get tax deductions for medical
expenses. However, say an obese person spends money on losing weight by working
out, buying some equipment or hiring a trainer – he would get no benefit for
the same.

found at these seemingly inefficient points. Why do things stand this way?
Let’s see if any of you can come up with an answer in the comments.
