That it isn't up to a homeowner whether there is a fire hydrant within 500' of your house.

It is part of publicly paid for infrastructure that is installed for the common good.

Certainly there are ways that people can have positive impacts to their own health but that leaves out all the other illnesses/accidents that are completely out of their control. Even among the elements that are controllable, many of the factors that make it difficult are also linked to poverty such as healthy eating.
