Women who have abortions should at least pay part of the costs for that abortion - more if she has a later term abortion. Smokers could at least pay half their medical expenses - at least this way it might give them a reality check and make them quit.

If private heath care insurance were cheaper, I wouldn't be on the public system!

Doing so opens up other procedures to scrutiny.

If people indulge in something they know is harmful, like smoking, drinking, eating etc, they should be made to pay. Those people who damage their health, knowing they are damaging their health, should be made to pay. It's not fair for them to ruin their bodies and expect everyone else to fork over cash to make them better.

Everyone, of course! I had PHI once and it expired. I couldn't renew it because it's pretty expensive and I just can't afford it.

Cigarettes contain addicting ingredients just like other drugs, yet they aren't outlawed like they are. WHY? They are even considered a linking drug to other more dangerous drugs. I just don't see how something like smoking can be accepted in a society that is very against the use of other drugs. Don't try to tell me that they aren't as dangerous. My own grandfather died because he smoked, and yet, this is acceptable to society.
anti - FREEDOM propaganda

... my OWN grandfather died of cancer too ...

he smoked most of his life ...

Spider cancer of the brain got him ... he was in his 80's ...

let the old people die in their own time!

why do you think the government should protect people from themselves ...
doesn't that sound a bit less than what FREEDOM should allow?
