How about the U.S. not pay for anyone’s health care?

I do like a doughnut as a treat, it has been months since I had one, but chocolate chip cookies? Oh darn. (I’m hitting the Gym every M-W-F at 6:45 am and I am 71. Won’t stop. Can’t stop.

I read a long time ago, that smokers cost healthcare less, because they die sooner. Anyone know about that?

Soda and smoking are very different, so it is counterproductive to conflate the two.

I support campaigns against smoking, and encourage buildings to ban it.

I'm not sure how many people can afford to smoke three packs a day.

Given what most of us pay for health insurance, base-jumping meth heads should be fully covered.

Here we go...

First you give the federal gov't the unconstitutional right to govern your healthcare.

Next, gov't will start managing your life.

NUKE UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOV'T INTERFERENCE IN HEALTHCARE!!!!!

Should “society” charge you for health care they do not intend to provide unless you obey them?

Government should pay for any health care. We have privacy. But not with a socialist government like RFK believes in

“If you’re smoking three packs of cigarettes a day, or engaging in unhealthy sexual practices, should you expect society to pay when you get sick?”

Better: Should society pay for your healthcare?

Or your retirement or your education or for the flood or wind that damaged your property or your mortgage or your cell phone or your groceries.

Throw being a homosexual and/or promiscuous in the discussion and we can talk.

Health and physical fitness is not impacted by eating a few doughnuts.

There are some emloyers who have built there health benefit employees contribution rates on an imputed higher rate generally and then a discount for non-smokers - effectively making a higher rate for smokers.

As an ex-smoker, and with the health improvenent I likely have for quitting, I favor larger health benefit contributions for smokers. I also do NOT favor health benefits for addiction/rehab services for drug addiction or alcohol rehab. To me all addictions, whether reinforced by the chemical once the addiciton has begun or not, begin with choices, and rightly people need to consider the costs, all costs, for those choices.

To me, telling employees their health benefits include coverages for alcohol rehab and treatments for drug addiction, sound compassionate but send the wrong message about who should be responsible for something that is bad but begins with a choice, a choice anyone can choose to avoid.

“Society”

My insurance premiums and bills I have to pay are not addressed to “society”

“Society” has paid jack shiite of any of my premiums or medical bills.

Now if hes talking about people getting free everything paid for by my premiums and my taxes, I think its a different story. Do you know how many strings govt puts on funding to enusre they are used in a certain desired way? Why would or should conditions for these funds be any different?

I get his point, but I also pick up on a “nanny state” mentality at work here.

if you climb mountains or do base jumping should we not cover your health care too?

we can go through a lot of activities that affect health care costs, a big one would be childbirth, but do we really want to go there?
