How about Federal legislation saying that smokers will not be covered by any Federal medical insurance, such as Medicare, Medicaid, if they get a disease associated with tobacco use.

Fine as long as we are reimbursed for every penny we've paid into the system..........and are no longer required to pay into the system.

How about you start bitching about paying for the 1,200 and more Somali's in Maine that are on welfare and that we have to pay for HEALTHCARE????

And what with Maine cigarette taxes, I think smokers pay MORE then their fair share, don't you???
