[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 607650, member: 1944"] Diesel, You may drug test them also. Fine with me. As for testing only one group of people, I am saying yes, if we have to pay for reckless behavior which at this point today, they do not pay for their healthcare, then yes we should curtail this reckless behavior. If the funds disappear, so will much of the abuse. The other side was talking about tax payers having to pay for reckless behavior, yet we have been for years. And there is no punishment to them who are unemployed due to drug and alcohol abuse. Why is this so? I know there are many, many unemployed right now through no fault of their own. We are not talking about them here. I am talking about the generation after generation addicted to welfare. They could test positive, and still get govt money, but they are not checked. Yet Other side thinks smokers should be punished for buying a legal, yes deadly product and using it. I dont argue the point tobacco is deadly, my Mom died from lung cancer. I just think the double standard goes way over the line. It seems only the productive are brought in line here. Seems only the productive have to give up anything. Yes and you have told me before, just what a small amount of money is spent on welfare. Just like Obama tells us he will get rid of fraud in Medicare to pay for this new healthcare takeover. Well seems like if we got rid of a lot of fraud we may have the money to cover those who need help with care. Lets get rid of the fraud, fund the program, as it is, then worry how to expand it to cover those not eligible now. Its simple and would not require a take over of the health care system. Easier to figure out how to cover a small percentage, than throw out the baby with the bathwater and have a new baby. [/QUOTE]
