Insurance doesn’t charge more for taking it in the butt right?

Principled conservatives should obey the rules or find a new job. Right?

"Insurance charges more for smoking right?"

Only is they know that a person smokes. Is there a test to detect that? Wasn't a huge Supreme Court case decided by the "Right of medical privacy" found somewhere in our Constitution? I've looked and looked for that in the Constitution and have yet to find it.

“Insurance charges more for smoking right?”

I’m completely in favor of this, as long as ALL OTHER “high-risk” lifestyles are ALSO charged more. That includes, but is not limited to:

1. Eating yourself to an early grave
2. Speeding/car accidents
3. Drug abuse
4. Non-monogamous/non-heterosexual sex

Every one of the above can be backed up with statistics just like smoking can.

Yeppers. But not only do tobacco users die EVERY year at a higher rate than everything attributed to CCP Virus, they die more expensively than the folks who spend two weeks on a ventilator and pass away. This is a clever way to get folks to drop their spouses from their health insurance. EVERRY year I have had to prove to my last two employers that my wife has no other options for coverage.
