It's a more noticeable issue with heart disease or other conditions where regular checkups and medication could avoid having a massive heart attack, possibly a cath, etc.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and all that.  I will say that it is a little bit of an ego-boost though when I can tell poor people to live within their means, but then also drive by a fast food joint and feel superior to all the poor people there loading up on as many calories-per-dollar that they can get.  Don't even get me started on how much of a laugh I get when all those poor people get the diabetes and heart disease they were asking for!
