So does this mean we can just let the person take responibility and let them die if they overdose? 

Depends. You're talking about the US so chances are they'll have medical insurance. That's what that insurance is for, no? So the doctors should probably do the job they're being paid to do...

Yes and no. Yes, that is the basic point of inssurance. But if your job, or yourself. Does things that hurt/kill you, is very high. Then it won't be covered in the way you're thinking. The Mythbusters show had this problem, all the time. Tory was the main cast. But was allowed to do certain experiments, that boderlined on stunt work. But once they do something too extreme. Insurrance cuts them off. Because, it will cause exstensive injury. If they mess up.

Same would happen with an OD. If you do that all the time. Or worse. You're doing it intentionally. It's basically like someone murdering a person for the insurrance. It will be voided. Or the place will refuse you. Under whatever rule.
