"Where is the logic that compels us to accept that health insurance firms have a moral obligation to insure individuals who are sick?" Mr. Pilch, do you know any person on this planet that is 100% absolutely healthy? Insurance companies are like gambling casinos....they simply rig the odds in their favor. Most civilized nations, I think, require hospitals to give emergency care to someone who comes in needing help. As we know, ER care is very expensive and if the patient can't pay as many of them can't, we all pay. It would no doubt be cheaper for us all to have some sort of universal coverage which would allow all to get primary care before their problems developed into emergencies.I "Well then perhaps there is a better way to solve this problem than by committing the wrong of forcing businesses to make decisions that are not profitable. Perhaps we can instead use government funds to help more Americans get off their fat arses and exercise and stop eating so friggin’ much." A better way would be to allow us to only eat Brit food......I guarantee we wouldn't eat so much then....:-) And btw, I believe tobacco use ultimately causes more deaths than another cause.
