[QUOTE="posbleak:1307332"]A lot of grossly unhealthy vice-type shit is already taxed, though. If we could take the cigarette tax and apply it to a single-payer health care system then I think it would be a lot more effective than what they're currently paying for (those useless anti-smoking ads). The people at my office who are complaining about "wah wah the unhealthy people will make MY stuff cost more" are also the obese ones who bitched about the soda restrictions in NY, LOL Offering free/discounted preventative care is the biggest part of making a dent in these big expensive illnesses, though. If you have an infection and you're insured, you can go to the doctor and go get your cheap little antibiotic. If you have an infection and you can't get to the doctor, letting it spread will just land you a very expensive trip to the ER for septicemia, etc. I'd rather suck up the cost of that pill than the cost of emergency inpatient care and possible surgery.[/QUOTE]
