So what do you think about this?

[RIJIMMY]

you sound disappointed!

I play "big bill roulette" with my accountant every April just like everyone else.
I don't think people should lose everything they've worked for because they don't have health insurance. I think health care is a human right.

Hopefully once there's mandatory health care there's mandatory health, and tax those who don't meet the health standards.

Unhealthy people are drain on society. They get sick more. They cost companies more. They cost insurance more.

how about people with risky occupations or hobbies?

mountain climbers, surfcasters, bikers, they should pay extra too, no? How many injuries do you have from those? they cost us a lot too.
Come to think of it, my sister is a fitness trainer, she always has knee and muscle issues, all fitness people should pay more too.

perhaps we should tax fatty foods as well?
Maybe chinese people get sicker than whites, maybe we should segregate races as well?

My life insurance premium is high because of skiing and sailing.

2 compressed discs
2 massive scars on my shins.
1 broken finger
2 concussions (har har gogo jokes)

If she has work done on them her insurance premiums will go up as it is.

Maybe we should.

Do they? You tell me.
Race has nothing to do with your health.
