I'm sorry, but I can't make this any more clear. I have repeatedly said that the insurance should cover those who have genetic issues or issues not caused by their own lifestyle choices. I can't make it any more clear. If you don't understand that, I'm sorry. I have also repeatedly stated that we should not be paying for the healthcare costs of lifestyle choices of smoking, drinking alcohol, sugar sweetened beverages such as Coke, lack of exercise, etc. Instead of doing the right thing and increase the tobacco taxes to pay for the programs (as other countries such as Canada, UK, France, Ireland, ...) have done, the Democrats chose to burden others and have chosen to dramatically increased Medicaid costs to the states which means that public universities (or course not the universities of the elites that run the Democratic Party) will get less and less funding and the students will have to go more and more into debt. The Republicans fixed the problem caused by the Democrats. Instead of blaming the Republicans for fixing these harms, blame the Democrats for folding to the tobacco lobby. Now, either you understand this that I am not saying that people with genetic issues or issues caused by those others by lifestyle or you don't. But don't blame the Republicans for fixing the harms caused by the Democrats. If you were to actually speak with people as I have you fill find that most agree that they shouldn't have to subsidize the healthcare costs caused by lifestyle choice. If people really cared, they would lobby for increasing the tobacco tax to levels comparable to Canada, UK, France, Ireland, .... to pay for the programs. Neither NYT, WaPo, or any other MSM or their columnists have advocated following the example of these other countries in order to pay for the care. BTW, the states can increase their own tobacco taxes, and put the money into Medicaid as NY State has done. Louisiana has a tobacco tax of $1.08 and NYS $4.35. If it raised its tobacco taxes to about $3.00 for the 200 million annual packs smoked and then put the money into Medicaid (matched 2:1 by feds) they would have $600 million to take care of uninsured while lowering the rate of smokers which, at 24%, is one of the highest in the nation. People claim to care, but if they truly cared, they'd lobby to raise the tobacco taxes using those funds to pay for people who need healthcare.
