I apologize if I offended you. I was not aware that you had health conditions, I thought you were just saying that healthy people should not complain and should pay the higher premiums like everyone else.

I wasn’t saying “screw everyone that doesn’t have a six pack and has no fat on them”. What I was saying was that health insurance costs should be weighted. I have no control over what other people eat or how they go about their lives, but through my insurances that I pay, I am affected. I don’t feel that I should have to pay a premium for everyone elses’ mistakes. It may sound selfish but it is the way I feel. I am not saying that healthy people should pay 10 bucks a month for insurance and make all of the unhealthy people pay thousands a month, but I am saying that even lowering my costs my 50 to 100 bucks a month would be a step in the right direction.
