Logic cuts both ways.

Funny how this thread keeps getting brought back from the dead.
This is a very cruel statement to make about any group of people.
There are
many other lifestyles that greatly contribute to increased health care costs and yet the only two that get get mentioned are smokers and the obese. Seems a little narrow minded to pick out these two and ignore the rest. It is easy to be critical of others while not bothering to look at our own faults first.
Maybe upon reaching a certain age everyone should just be denied health care since that would really save a lot on health care costs. BTW how old did you say you are?
