[QUOTE="SignificantOwner, post: 1171242, member: 22836"] You totally missed the point. UPS and many other employers are nailing smokers because Obamacare prevents insurers from charging higher premiums based on risk in most cases. One of the exceptions is smokers. Insurers are allowed to charge smokers higher premiums. This is one of the few groups that Obamacare has allowed insurers to target. UPS is not forced to do so, but of course they do (hey, all the other companies are doing it!) This is exactly what the administration wanted to happen. How long will it be before we have to say whether or not we have a gun in our homes? Gun owners have higher medical costs they'll say. This health care law will turn out to be a very powerful behavior control tool in the hands of the government. Greedy companies will always comply when given the opportunity to target specific groups and cut costs. [/QUOTE]
