Your ObamaCare Fail of the Day

So another cool thing about taxing the existence out of people you don’t like, is that is doesn’t always work:

“Tobacco surcharges are not proven to help tobacco users quit and there are major concerns that they will prevent people from getting health care coverage,” the American Lung Association’s Jennifer Singleterry said.

The ALA supports the Affordable Care Act, as does the American Cancer Society, but both oppose the tobacco penalty because they believe it makes insurance unaffordable for smokers.

“Charging tobacco users more in health insurance premiums, sometimes thousands of dollars more, studies have shown, will price smokers out of the market,” says Singleterry.

Enjoy the New Puritanism™, made possible in part by the usurpations of ObamaCare.
