When you think about it, it's kind of science fictiony that smoking is discouraged but even young teens having sex without protection from STDs is enabled.

Lung cancer kills people before their time. It usually can't be cured, so it's cheaper than treating people for Diabetes, which they'll get if they eat instead of smoke and blimp out and is expensive for treatment. So wouldn't it be a better idea to provide cigarettes for free?

Meanwhile, think about all of those STDs that will happen with no-consequence sex with mulitple partners. Women with STDs are more likely to have children with lifelong problems. They'll be expensive to keep healthy. Those free methods of birth control are going to get mighty expensive for society.

So what's the only logical conclusion? Free cigarettes for all and free condoms but not free birth control!

(for those of you who don't understand my humor, it's satire. I like to take absurd premises and follow them to the logical conclusion they would cause.)

What poetry-in-motion the Left could've had if they had let Cruz be seen as the big meanie that crashed healthcare bennies for everybody, plausibly to blame it on the mean Republicans! They could've swooped in with their single-payer messiah and appeared to save the day, just in time for the 2014 elections!

Now look at it layin' there. It's only going to get lots worse. Along with the next spring cleaning, the country will be looking to broom the Dems' for a generation or more.

These staffers never get fired. They know too much. Vote one bastard out and the new bastard hires the old bastard’s staff. Plus a “niece” or two.

It’s going to be nothing but fun waiting for the smokers to figger out that smoking can’t be a “pre-existing “condition? Aids is OK but smoking?

Not covered by subsidy and can be up to 50% increase. And since the poor smoke more ...

The poor are going on Medicaid. They really don’t care.

Agree, but they will either get freebie (Medicaid) or heavily subsidized ACA policies.

Obamacare was designed to reward Obama supporters and penalize enemies.

But I don't think the smoker's penalty is subsidized.

Agree, but in the lower income brackets the total bill isn’t very much.

Agree. Obamacare is going to do untold damage to our economy, and will be the direct cause of tens of thousands of deaths. This is the sort of thing that dictatorships are toppled for.

The Dems in Congress will be lucky if all they do is lose elections for a decade or so. The American public's reaction could be much, much worse.

So they should just lie. Lying seems to be the “in” thing
with this administration.

Will the doctor turn him in? This is pretty important because a patient has a right to privacy by law.
