I could also imagine some people, who are carrying latent guilt because they strayed from their religion or feel they haven't been good enough, might think their disease is punishment from God. But guilt or no guilt, if you have a fatalistic attitude and you believe in the afterlife, then when you're stricken by a life threatening disease you might care more about redeeming yourself than treatment.
I should have read all the way to the bottom of the page before posting. This scenario fits into my 2nd paragraph above.

I think both Heywood and Volitions add to what I was trying to explain. It's not just one thing, it adds up over time, and it starts early.
