I agree with you. Higher premiums would solve the problem. You just articulated the solution better than I!

Fact is, lj, the line about smoking is already on most insurance aps, and they do charge higher premiums if you admit to smoking, so let's start concentrating on getting the goobermint out of the health care business because it is 90% gub'mint paperwork and regs that have shot the cost of care through the roof.

Couch potatoes? Poor family history? Inner city dwellers? Of all the risks possible in the insurance pool, smokers are the only ones who pay their own way.
