Got link to work now
Let me know when any of those proposals becomes law.
A smoking permit sounds nuts.
But does my HMO or life insurance company really do any different by charging me double a non-smoker?
Both are trying to make me have lifestyle changes.
Not once in 30 years of living under socialized medicine did I or any relative, friend or aquaintance have any limitations placed on them by their doctor or hospital based on their health choices.
I have read about some cases where a hospital refused to treat a lung cancer because the patient refused to stop smoking, and while I'm sure that may happen in the UK, it happens in this Land of the Free too.
