“why shouldn’t obese people, smokers and those who have habits which can lead to health problems but ones WHICH THEY CAN CONTROL not pay more for health insurance???”
Like when I was a paratrooper in the Army?
Shoul I have paid more?
Brave men and women in the armed forces already get veteran health benefits don’t they?
It’s understood that their career places them in harms way to protect the rest of us. There is a legitimate public need in providing them with free quality health care paid for by the taxpayers they protect.
Am I missing something?
a hazardous job and hazardous life style are night and day....
in fact if you work in a hazardous line of duty you will pay more for disability insurance versus one who has an office job...
