I don't see why this is an issue to you more conservative 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' types.


Don't like high premiums due to your tobacco use and extra 30 lbs? Then quick smoking, get your fat ass in gear, get healthy, and save some money! Bingo, instant results.. all from taking care of your own lot in life.

Why is it that people get so frightened over a rumor? Shit like this is what stirs up the pot and sends people into a haze of paranoia.

Doesn't matter everyone is gonna see an extra $63 per a head for three years that we the unwilling are gonna pay.

The Obama administration says it is a temporary assessment levied for three years starting in 2014, designed to raise $25 billion. It starts at $63 and then declines.

Most of the money will go into a fund administered by the Health and Human Services Department. It will be used to cushion health insurance companies from the initial hard-to-predict costs of covering uninsured people with medical problems. Under the law, insurers will be forbidden from turning away the sick as of Jan. 1, 2014.

My employee benefits charges extra per paycheck for smokers.

Per a head. You realize there are folks out there that can't afford more taxation that also don't qualify for assistance and so forth.

I honestly don't want to pay more money into the coffers but I'm forced too.
