Quote from Ricter:
Maybe, maybe not. If you live long enough you will be twice your present age, and you're bound to gain weight, trust me. 200 lbs, yeah, that's extreme. Yes, the problem of how to handle the deliberately unhealthy has been brought up. I wonder how the other advanced nations handle the problem.
You're going the wrong way with this.. when I get older and gain weight, I should pay more. the deliberately unhealthy are FREE to live however they want too.. their insurance should cost more, as should people who are NOT deliberately unhealthy. But as long as they pay their premiums, they should get health care. Trying to punish people who are unhealthy on their own is big brother type shit, and unacceptable to me. In other words, if you are unhealthy, regardless of WHY, you should pay more because you COST more. Leave it at that.
