Ridiculous conversation...first, now lung cancer is occurring more often in people who do not, I repeat do not, smoke. Most life threatening diseases are a part and parcel of getting old and genes. Cancer is familial or indiscriminate or caused by the environment. All of the above posts seems to want to "punish" the sick because they got sick!!! When you are ill like that the last thing you need is to have large bills, people pointing fingers at you that you could have stopped it by "being healthy" Folks, we are mortal, not immortal, and unless you die in an accident, some illness is probably going to get you. How many do you know die peacefully in their sleep? Now you are talking about making people pay more when they get sick? Please!!!

As for the Affordable Care Act... if it's so great, why did Congress who voted it in, voted themselves and their staff out of it??? Because the staff threatened to quit on them.... and now what is going on with Labor and this Act...I just got a glimpse of it on the news..seems some kind of accommodation has been made.... So Congress and maybe Labor and Congress staff doesn't have to deal with Affordable Care... What Does That Tell You??????
