In my opinion, yes. I don't think that people who get sick (through no fault of their own) should have to pay one cent more for medical costs than healthy people. None of us control who gets sick and who doesn't (for many diseases), so it seems fair that we share the costs. I just don't think you should ignore the constitution to do it.

Also, I would't apply this to people who choose to eat like pigs or smoke, they should pay the costs of their medical care.

It's a brutal problem, I don't pretend to have any brilliant insights...
