The District of Columbias Obamacare czars the board that sets rules for the phony insurance marketplace, or exchange, that the law creates have decided that henceforth insurers shall be forbidden by law to charge smokers higher rates than non-smokers. Smoking, as it turns out, is a preexisting medical condition, according to Dr. Mohammad Akhter, the chairman of the D.C. Health Exchange Board. Two liberal states, California and Connecticut, have decided likewise, while Colorado and Alaska have rejected the idea.
Rewarding idiots for bad decisions and punishing the rational and healthy - great idea! When I see a moron happily and proudly puffing on a cancer stick I lose all respect. Unfortunately, hot women often smoke, so it has always been difficult to write them off since that takes 2/3rds of the mounting possibilities off the table.
The respect part didn't factor into that equation, so that is not an issue .
Nope. If one chooses a sports car (choice) they will pay more insurance,gas,maint. Etc. Not taking anything just a cost of choice, It happens.Okay, so let me get this straight so I understand.....
It is okay to take rights and liberties away from people, as long as it does not take away from your rights......sounds familiar.

Now there's realistic logic.so, with that said:
Meat eater, PEC
Dairy Lover, PEC
Tobacco of any kind, PEC
And, since we are all born, age, and destine to die, pre existing condition.
makes total sense now.
Now there's realistic logic.
Others should defiantly have to pay for my choices even if dangerous....sound familiar?
BTW, I have a quite expensive smoking habit, I chooses to own a big block Chevy suburban, I expect to pay my fair share to do so, I don't need to place the burden on someone else, I'm a big boy.
I don't expect you to agree with me or vise versa.
FWIW, brains starve for oxygen when buryed in the sand too long.
My head is not buried in the sand, I have a realistic "Devil's Advocate" mindset. The same could be said when one's head is buried in their butt too......
My point is, if you want to complain about how government steps all over rights and liberties, expect that same argument to be used against you in debate.

You clearly need a PC lesson.
When stating "one's head is buried in their butt" it must be followed by "not that there's anything wrong with that"
Carry on...

Hmm I am almost never wrong but perhaps I am partially wrong on this one . When you add in the obesity thing, etc, I guess it makes sense. Just don't like paying in the pot for people that sabotage their own health. I do believe that a lot of people who are obese would not be that way if it were not for that they are being poisoned with nerve toxins like Aspartame and nasties from wonderful super corps like Montasanto with their GMO garbage. That being the case, a lot of obese people should be classified as victims. It isn't like in 1983 to 2013 everyone just decided to stuff their faces. No, corps found ways to get people to consume more via marketing - yes - but also .... drugs and additives put in food. One of the side affects of Aspartame is increased appetite; that is why fast food places LOVE giving you a cheeseburger and a 49 oz drink. Profits.
Cigs though .. ugh. Even tobacco alone isn't so addictive. It is the EXTRA chemicals they put in cigarettes to legally addict you.
When you have entities messing with you like this, you have to consider the victim angle. Don't confuse that with entitlement, etc.
Don't smoke a joint though - that will destroy your life, possibly kill you on the spot.
