re: #621 redc1c4

look for care based upon past behavior: a smoker with COPD or emphysema?
here’s your albuterol and some O2….. next? you have lung cancer? have some pain pills. nope, sorry, fentanyl patches aren’t covered and since you smoked, you aren;t eligible for chemo or surgery.

next?

They’ll assign you a “social worker” and put you in a program to make you quit smoking first. Best case scenario I guess you can say. They have something similar in the UK and this also happens already in many other cases in the US.

Other things they’ll be “controlling” will be weight and food consumption habits. Doctors will be highly regulated under new Federal guidelines so they’ll be snooping around for any of those indicators.

Think EPA. //
