You're already paying the tab for the Medicare and Medicaid participants who haven't done squat to maintain their own health.

Nobody dies healthy. Some simply live longer and cost more. The solution is to kill everyone off at 30, then you can really reduce medical expenses. [Is this the point where we start killing the infirm and working towards a super race?!]

Right, good point. I use tobacco from time to time, and pay a higher premium because of it. I'm nearly 40, single, no kids, have never been able to claim dollar one off health insurance and have paid for every dang kid's birth and sniffles at my company. The point is, we pool together and hope for the best. Companies who begin to pit one employee against another will eventually pay a price. Personally, I'd prefer a bump in pay and I'd buy my own insurance and they could all go to h*ll.

On average, those who live responsibly, and take reasonable measures to maintain their health, have many more productive years and many fewer years in which their care cost more than they are contributing. They are net contributors to the economy.

So that's how the world of "Logan's Run" came about! (And yes, I picked a photo from the short-lived tv program rather than the movie because the movie Jessica was a horsey-face)

This may really be the bottom line!
