Re: Another one o' them smoking ban threads....
if you have health insurance, you're already in that situation. your premiums are applied across the whole customer base to cover all of the insurance company's expenditures. so you're already paying for stupid people who pay for services with your insurance company.

what universal healthcare does is ensure that a CEO's child and a gas station attendant's child both have the same chance of fighting childhood leukemia, for example. are you saying the gas station attendant's child deserves to die because his father may not be able to afford treatment? that's precisely what denying universal healthcare says.
