Samson,
At no point did I say that people with more money are "better" than anyone else. They have more money, and I am just saying that they shouldn't be targeted to pay extra healthcare costs simply because they make more money.
One way to have a successful healthcare system is to control costs through preventitive care and another is to have people that engage in risky behavior pay a small tax on the things they do that are risky. It should not be a punative cost just a small cost associated with risky behavior. This will bite me on the ass if they start taxing climbing equipment but such is life.
My solution would be to legalize pot and tax the hell out of it
. It would still be way more affordable than it is now and would let a bunch of people out of jail so they could be productive and pay taxes instead of burning them up while sitting in a small room.
