Reply #86: I think we're in agreement

I said I don't complain about helping to finance other people's health care.

My post was explaining that I DO finance it, I feel it in my wallet - but I wasn't saying that I SHOULDN'T. I don't resent paying for it. I resent some smoker telling me I haven't paid for it, and pretending every smoker always has and does pay for all their own health care.

If the people I am helping to finance have a problem with one group financing another - but they only have that problem when they are the payers, and they never voiced a complaint when they were recipients, then they are hypocrites.

I'm in support of financing anti-smoking programs for people who can't afford it, yes.
