Until I read this bill I didn't know people on Medicaid were also eligible for the State's basic health plan.
One of the provisions of this bill is to eliminate that coverage. That's good news.
Another provision of this bill specifies different premiums for smokers and the obese than for others (higher no doubt).
It's funny how the state can be so concerned about the health of smokers and the obese but not at all concerned about those who practice unhealthy and sometimes deadly sexual practices. In fact, the state actually encourages promiscuity and sodomy which probably have higher health costs and worse health risks than either smokers or the obese.
But smoking and being fat are not politically correct so they will be singled out as the bad people while other choices and lifestyles that are just as bad, if not worse, are encouraged.
This proves this legislature fails in its first responsibility to all citizens and that is fairness and impartiality while encouraging the health and well being of all of us.
