Quote:1) What is the average annualized cost of a smoker's health care vs. a non-smoker, amortized over their lifetime? In other words, how can you justify your statement that smokers should pay double?
2) Would you support making people pay up for other risk factors,
One of the main features of group insurance is that it averages the expenses across the entire group. This is a feature, not a bug.
1) That's for him to justify, but I doubt that he literally meant a mandate that requires all smokers to pay exactly twice as much everybody else does for health insurance, unless exactly twice as much was the extra cost involved.
2) Would I support making people...,? 99.99% of the time my answer is going to be no. No, I don't want the government much involved in the first place.
Yeah manowar, IMO always look at what the other side is saying. And get medical checkups/innoculations man, living a healthy life style is no guarantee, and some things you need to catch quickly or prevent in the first place.
and guys, he's just admitted that he may have been wrong, there is no need to continue to calling him names, it's not going to help you.
