Affordable Care Act: Smoking sends health premiums higher
And you better not lie about it.
I’ve been insured for 25 years through 7 different providers. I have never once been asked if I smoked.
Oh well, it’s the smokers driving up costs to insurers. Makes good business sense.

What a load of horse shit
-
Are you and I the only smokers left here
-
A lot of employers are asking that now.
-
BINGO
-
BINGO
-
I don't get the indignation here.

-
The government isn't selling you the insurance.

EDIT:

I can't argue with any of that. n/t
