From the Associated Press - Faced with the high cost of caring for smokers and overeaters, experts say society must grapple with a blunt question: Instead of trying to penalize them and change their ways, why not just let these health sinners die?

News from The Associated Press

I've seen the attitudes here at C-D. You libs like to deny Obamacare will facilitate death panels, but this is the slippery slope, right here. Soon enough it will be old people, those useless parasites taking my child's healthcare benefits...right libs?

Obama's America, it's a wonderful place.

Do penalties for people participating in high risk physical activities make sense?

How about poor drivers that are likely ro injure themselves or others?

Should the uncoordinated constantly hurting themselves be penalized?

Maybe we could penalize you for bad genes?
