Do you think that smokers and obese people should pay more for health insurance in the USA? |
...In order to help the tons and tons of people without insurance to get insured? What about people who have a family history of cancer or diseases? Where to you draw a line at? So my answer to this is NO That's why I said smoking and obesity, because they are related to self control choices we've made. Nice to hear (via other poster) that there are cost raises due to that fact. No. Because smokers and obese people are just like everyone else and need healthcare too. They just require a little more attention, if they get sick or something. But it is no different than a non smoker who gets cancer and requires more attention than others or obese people who are obese because of a malfunction in their bodies, not because they overeat. So, no I do not think that they should have to pay more for health insurance. It already so hard and expensive to get as it is. yes to smokers, and depending on the ammount of obesity, ; also the national health systems that are free in many countries should charge a percentage of the treatment to smokers, and drinkers and the obese if their health problem is related to this situation in both cases. Not when there is an accident or something that has nothing to do. But it would be a rgeat idea to realy make people responsible for their own bad choices Got news for you sweetie, they do. On average a smoker, if they can get insurance at all pays twice what a non-smoker pays. And obesity, finally recognized (a little late) as a growing problem has also raised rates for those with added weight. (again if they can get insured at all) The reason health insurance is so expensive for everyone is because the name of the game in the insurance industry is MAKING MONEY, they could care less about the needs of the general populace. Their lobbyists in DC cost the insurance industry millions to maintain, but without them....we'd probably have national healthcare at this point. Every other modern nation on this planet has national healthcare....it is a basic human right. But here, in the good old USA, screw rights, get the money. RN |
