If they die? then so be it. [/quote] i pay for my own healthcare and my profession is exempt from o care.when i get medicare i will make sure i live as long as possible just so the likes of u have to pay more i am a smoker and a taxpayer and my vice is taxed.what is that stupid fucking picture next to your name?i see you get most of your karma from being a little tattletale [/quote] God don't even get me started on medicare and social security! So which one are you, The fatass or the smoker? [/quote] I think ignorant morons are in the majority. Which explains why Obama got elected twice and why his minions want other people to die just because they do things that they don't like. [/quote] Welcome to planet retard..lol In light of the newer developments I cant say people don't have it coming. Everyone in line for handouts completely oblivious to what they have done to themselves. [/quote] What newer developments do you speak of? What does your statement: "[i][b]Everyone in line for handouts completely oblivious to what they have done to themselves[/b][/i]" have to do with why you and the rest of Obamas minions want people to die that are fat or smoke? Thanks for calling me a name by the way. When someone like you calls me a name I know I've said something that made you look at yourself and you didn't like what you saw so you lash out in defense. [/quote] You completely misread everything I said. [/quote] Deep thinker you got yourself - see bold [/quote]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Faced with the high cost of caring for smokers and overeaters, experts say society must grapple with a blunt question: Instead of trying to penalize them and change their ways, why not just let these health sinners die?
Annual health care costs are roughly $96 billion for smokers and $147 billion for the obese, the government says. These costs accompany sometimes heroic attempts to prolong lives, including surgery, chemotherapy and other measures.
But despite these rescue attempts, smokers tend to die 10 years earlier on average, and the obese die five to 12 years prematurely, according to various researchers' estimates.
BTW I'm a smoker and I'm 6'2" 230lbs
I'm probably considered a fat smoker who will be allowed to die if I get sick. I would rather die than live with these assholes running things
