Is it in the Bill Of Rights?

Hospital won't hire smokers. Really?

I assume the hospital is providing insurance and smokers drive up the cost of premiums. So the hospital has a right to try to control costs. And these are costs that ultimately get passed on to hospital patients. So you're saying that smokers have a right to increase costs for others?

This country is upside down and the reason is simply we have gone from a country where the rule of law prevailed to one of rights. Everyone has rights no one has responsibilities.

If I'm not mistaken, when this country was founded, most people didn't have health insurance. Most people were farmers. They took their risks and had to live with the results. Now we're all tied together by health insurance premiums.
