Should we pay for smokers lung cancer treatment? Or should we make them pay?? |
What about a combination... like a user fee, where someone who smokes will be required to pay 20% of the treatment cost.... gotta think that people would think twice before smoking if smoking related illnesses were not covered Well, almost everyone is on that bandwagon. Do we pay for treatment for drug addiction? Yes. Do we pay for treatment for alcohol addiction? Yes. How about treatment for people with heart disease because they're so fat they can barely move? Yes. How about knee replacement for the same people, who are carrying around so many pounds that their knees give out? There's no end to the list of ailments that people cause themselves. And yes, we all end up paying for it, through insurance costs and rising medical costs. Society is not qualified to decide who will receive medical care and who will not, based on what they may or may not like. Nor are lawmakers. that is what insurance is for...right? People should be responsible for their own healthcare. Then maybe we wouldn't have so many obese and smokers. ideally, WE shouldn't have to pay for anything that YOU did. Were we and you are meant in general terms of course. In reality, I bet its really hard to prove that some illness was caused by smoking and not by some other thing. Then we should do that to everyone that breaths the air too. We are all guilty of putting contaminants into the air and ground. And no, I don't smoke but use too. Trust me they pay enough with the pain they indure for treatment. What makes me laugh is the government sure loves the taxes it brings in. I believe cancer is simply a lack of vitamin B 17 and that we are blamed for causing our cancer by smoking when in fact it is huge conglomerates that are suppressing the info on B 17 to keep creating their wealth with the cancer industry. obviously WE won't be paying for their treatment, their insurance will.... and if they were insured while they were smoking yes they should pay for whatever percentage the plan covers..... if you start putting stipulations like that into health care then when does it blend into people who eat at McDonald's or who eat to many carbs or fatty foods, and what about caffeine, or alcohol.... heck anyone who doesn't eat exactly what the food pyramid suggests should not be fully covered by their insurance because they did not take proper care of themselves.... if you don't do some form of daily exercise then insurance shouldn't cover your heart condition..... it would go on and on until eventually it directly affected you....BTW i am not a smoker and I can't stand to be around it. |
