Smoking Is a Preexsisting Condition (Just give your paycheck to D.C.!)
National Review Online ^ | 04/10/13 | Kevin D. Williamson

The District of Columbia’s Obamacare czars — the board that sets rules for the phony insurance marketplace, or “exchange,” that the law creates — have decided that henceforth insurers shall be forbidden by law to charge smokers higher rates than non-smokers. Smoking, as it turns out, “is a preexisting medical condition,” according to Dr. Mohammad Akhter, the chairman of the D.C. Health Exchange Board. Two liberal states, California and Connecticut, have decided likewise, while Colorado and Alaska have rejected the idea.

Common sense and medical facts don’t get in the way of insane politicians.
