You typed a mouthful! Why of why don't these idiots know that we aren't all stupid out here!
I just cannot imagine myself being counseled by some liberal do-gooder feminist about smoking. Especially since I hardly do smoke anymore, just when I feel like it.
Obviously, these nanny-staters can't find anybody who will voluntarily pay good money to listen to BS, so they have Medicare pay for it.
Sounds like another scam to get doctors to prescribe more drugs to "help" people quit (and have mediscare pay big bucks for them)-welbutrin is a common one used-unfortunately sometimes instead of making someone feel happy, it causes them to do violence-I worked with a woman who wrecked the business owner's office and tried to brain him with a lamp while she was taking the stuff. And let's not forget the nanny state "counseling" that some airhead social worker will get paid by mediscare for. Hmmm-maybe I should dust off the credentials and degree I spent a lot of money and time getting...
