Yep!
Sure is and they will make up the loss of tax revenue from their successful campaign against cigarettes. This is another ah-ha government moment.
Sometimes.
And sometimes it's a way for the government to save money on Medicare, Medicaid, and disability SS payments.
It is also a way to keep costs down for those of us who pay for medical care for the indigent by having a portion of that care allocated to our hospital bills, else we'd be screaming our heads off even more about the high cost of medical insurance--and to slow the rise in premium costs for obamacare.
Now if the government didn't force hospitals to treat the indigent and if the government didn't pay for healthcare for the indigent and elderly, then doing what we want with our bodies--as we should be allowed--as far as the government is concerned.
So it's really your fault for wanting your tax money to be spent on medical care for the indigent, etc.
