Gee, you mean like the extra tax I pay on cigaretts to pay for kids health care, or the fact that I'll never collect dime one from Social Security.
Fact is the "healthy" folks are the ones that spend 20+yrs living off the government tab and rack up half a mil in hip/knee replacements. Not to mention I pay more for life insurance (which, granted I understand). Sorry but that's a load of crap.
BTW most cancers are genetic, even lung cancer. Most smokers keel over from heart problems, as well as "fit" people like Jim Fix. (keeled over jogging)
Could the problem with health care be the $5 asprins and $100 a day TV charges the hospitals whack the "evil insurance co." with? Not to mention unnessasary surguries, ordering every test in the book, ect.
