As to the "religious implications", the state and church are supposed to be seperate entities. Even if they werent, people do not have the right to cast "God"s judgement. Who are we to say that we know what "He" thinks? If it's wrong, then let "Him" cast judgement. He without sin, etc.View Thread


"We all have right to free speech, but we also have the right not to have to hear it."
In the same vein, people have the right to smoke, but I have the right not to have to breathe it in.View Thread

When I go to the doctor I have to have my insulin pump downloaded, as well as one of my meters, and every time they act like I'm asking them to remove a limb. Or the question "have you been trying to lose weight?" DUH!View Thread

Another issue is, what if an overweight person has a bariatric procedure? Would they get a cost reduction?
I do think that insurances have to start with something that is a personal choice, like smoking or drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. Yes you could make the argument that it's an addiction, but the person had to have made the choice to start, it's not something that just happens.View Thread
