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.
And the same goes for some damn government run healthcare system. It starts the slide down the old slippery slope. Start with smokers, then people who are overweight, people who don't exercise or eat a healthy diet, mandatory pre-natal testing and abortions for those fetuses (fetii ?) who aren't quite up to snuff, etc. Much too costly, don't ya know.

I'll second that.
