It is always nice to see a perfect human.

I'm asking for responsible behavior, not perfection.

I do not think the government needs to be involved at all in health care.

I'm arguing within the framework of our current reality.

Plus are you sure that smaoker cost YOU more money.

I've heard that point before and I'm willing to accept the statistics if you can provide them, but it's nonetheless true that we are paying much more than we otherwise would to cover the cost of extreme overindulgence. Those of us who DO live responsibly naturally resent it.

Plus if the government did not force private insurance to cover all those every day 100.00 windshields of broken people you might actually pay less------espically if you are a man.

Please edit before you post, eh? Are you comparing car accidents to addictive behavior?

You do realize you pay more because the insurance company is forced to cover pap smears, mammograms etc.

Yes, and much of the testing is excessive, motivated by liability concerns. That's yet _another_ issue. There are many other preventive modalities that are rarely covered by insurance policies.

This sounds so naive and self righteous. "Those of us who DO live responsibly naturally resent it." You are the kind of person that people yearn to see hit by lightning. Life is unpredictable, so don't go getting smug.
