Drug addiction is a disorder most often caused by some sort of pressure to do drugs. It’s almost never a path someone chooses to take just because. And, obviously, it takes extremely long and an extremely good set of circumstances to escape, you can’t just choose not to have a drug addiction suddenly. “Having a drug addiction some time in the past is his fault so it’s not dystopic that he can’t get basic healthcare” is an extremely ignorant take.

Should diabetes treatment not be accessible to all because a lot of diabetes is partially caused by lifestyle either? Or rather, is your argument that in a capitalist world, which can’t exist without an underclass and people too poor to afford many basic necessities, it’s fine that people who can’t afford healthcare just get fucked and rack up a bunch of debt from the hospital & (in the case of the US) can’t get treatment from doctors/specialists for anything that isn’t immediately life-threatening?

I just want to gauge the line for how much healthcare inaccessibility/insecurity there needs to be, or who can be excluded, for you to accept that it’s dystopic.
