" 2 YOUR HEALTH "
THE "ICEMAN" IS A SMOKER:
( AND A FAT SOB )
Acording to these statistics, provided by all kinds of Govt. Drones, (at least until your local TV Anchor contradicts every (Bleeping) study ever produced) or will be produced,
.... if you drive to your doctor or hospital for your annual health check-up and preventative maintenance ....
you can stop bitching about second hand smoke and make out your Will.
The "Iceman " would hope that smokes be made illegal (they should be). There are 40 / 50 million smokers in the U.S.. The average consumption is 1 pack per day per person. The average tax (Fed/State) is $1.00 per pack, or 40 million dollars per day, or appx. 1 1/2 billion per year. The Iceman doesn't believe for 1 sec that our DC drones would miss the dinero.
The proof is in the pudding. As you have noticed, the dramatic drop in smoking has led to an all-time reduction in Health Insurance (if you can afford it).... OH?.. It's not? .. Uugghh!! Dam!! My mistake .... sorry. Well, thank goodness the cost isn't going up.
(40 million uninsured (r they the smokers?)).
It looks like (according to da chart) your in mortal danger if your a health fanatic.
Ok...quit eye-ballin the Drone Chart and pay attention to the next "adjustment" you get in the mail from Big Blue Health. It's like playing Monopoly, only different. Ya gotta keep track of the deductibles goin up, the list of Docs on your HMO goin down and of course, the inevitable notice of the increase in premium (in reeaaalll fine print). Eventually you will take the policy to H&R Block and your lawyer to review the contract.
Stay tuned ... and be careful on the way to your next appointment. Say, .... assuming you survive, .... pick me up a pack of Marlboro on the way back.
The smoking lamp is lit.
