You appear to have a wonderfully simplistic view of life. While I don't know what TheDaddy does for a living, there are jobs that are so specialist that it is unlikely you will find temps that can do them. A friend of mine is, on paper, a DBA at an Oil exploration company. In practise, that is only a part of his job and his skill set is so specialised that when his company closed their UK office and centralised their operations in Houston, they PAID for him to move to the States, and arranged his green card for him rather than just employ someone else. They went to all that expense despite the fact that Houston is effectively the Oil capital of the US, so they probably do have a lot of skill people there already.
However, I digress. I would suggest you provide proof of your assertion about mrmistoffelees because if you don't provide proof, what you said is libel.
Finally, life isn't as simple as the if you exercise you are healthy and if you don't, you aren't mantra you appear to be pushing. Generally, people who exercise are more healthy, but know I people who exercised regularly (one even played Rugby at club level, and was teetotal) who died of heart attacks in their 20s. The Rugby player even died in the middle of a game. Equally, I know fat people who have lived into their 80s and 90s despite doing, eating and drinking all the wrong things. Equally, I know fat people who've died. There is a large degree of genetics involved in whether you live or die.

Not treating people as a cost cutting exercise is not ultimately going to save money.It will just all be pushed onto social care which is already overstretched as witnessed by bed blocking..

Even those healthy pursuits.. Will marathon runners be refused the leg and knee surgery they frequently end up needing because they've worn out joints? Will footballers be refused surgery for the various problems they end up having? I'm not talking Professional footballers here, I'm talking at club level. The blokes who do a normal job during the day then spend their weekends and evenings playing football.
Finally, what about those with dangerous jobs? Do they get refused treatment because they may injure themselves at work? A builder that needs knee surgery because of 20 years of going up and down ladders? What about a Sales Rep who spends 90% of his time on the road, then crashes the car on his day off? Does he get Surgery? After all, he is on the road for several hours a day, a crash is inevitable at some point.
