Obamacare Will Force One Florida County to Make Nicotine Use Illegal

This is the agenda behind Obamacare.

Next it will be cheeseburgers and transfat...

This is how you regulate business - banning and regulating.

I suppose it's the republicans that have a "war on _______" while these crazy ****ing progressives have a war on capitalism and anyone that isn't dark enough and whomever doesn't have a vagina or prays to the east 5 times a day...

dont these people , have something better to do with their time.
 
Boo you know its true, ignoring reality hard enough really does make it go away

There are thousands of busybody Bloombergs out there who are ready to start their pet projects, with Obamacare and cost overruns providing the excuse. They will call it public health and safety, which makes it very difficult to demonstrate opposition because, of course, no one can argue against public health and safety.

that's a battlefield I'd be honored to die on
do we get virgins?

I love internet tough guys, why don't you go ahead and do it then.
 
Re: I've called this nonsense since day one - The Agenda behind Obamacare.

Typical, find a thread about Obama. Drag Bush in to it. Not surprised, Obama cant stand on his own two feet good or bad.

That's right, this is a bash Obama thread, how dare someone try to show that a GOP person has done irresponsible and idiotic things which he got-re-elected for. We should just stick to bashing Obama right?

Calm down and explain rationally what this has to do with ObamaCare.... (hint... it doesn't).

You're making yourself sound like a loon.

Typical 3rd grader stuff from you again. I didn't vote for Obama but it is fun watching people like you who voted for Bush defend him, yet attack Obama.

The GOP/Dem duopoly is ruining this nation and all you have is 3rd grade rhetoric.

Look at the topic of the thread. It's not about George Bush, it's about Barrack Obama and Obamacare. Obamacare Will Force One Florida County to Make Nicotine Use Illegal See what I mean?

Yes, because we cannot make comparisons right? Don't like my comments, tough **** and go pound sand.
 
Re: I've called this nonsense since day one - The Agenda behind Obamacare.

for as long as people will pay insurance premiums that increase 250% per year?

:lamo and who told you that was happening?

Which provision of Obamacare forced this county - and no other county in the entire nation - to do this?

Make comparisons between Obamacare and what? Bushcare? Never heard of comparing like versus like?

Make all the comments you chose to and I'll continue to laugh at them or ignore them. It's an open board.

Do you have an answer for this question?
 
Re: I've called this nonsense since day one - The Agenda behind Obamacare.

You'd think libertarians would like the idea of a business being able to hire whom they please....

Of course I do but the government is forcing these businesses hand with their Obamacare bull**** WHICH IS THE POINT OF OBAMACARE.....

The whole point of Obamacare is to regulate everything in the United States under the ruse of "health care costs." If you can control the cost of health care then you can control what people consume and that ultimately leads to total dictation of both the individual, business and/hence economy....

It's amazing how no one sees this yet this article is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

You're making yourself sound like a loon.

So it's not about health care???

Is that what you're saying?

Oh, only a loon buys what they're spoonfed...
 
The best way for this government to dictate everything and anything in this country is through health care by citing "health care costs" as a reason for banning and regulating everything and anything...

They'll tax junk food like cigarettes, hell they will require you to buy a license to buy junk food, they'll attack and regulate entire industries..... And the progressive tyrant big government commies will say "it's for your own good" and that alone will be enough to soothe any progressives nerve..

This is exactly what the real progressive commies want....

Of course every progressive will tell me to put my tinfoil hat on, however, in 10-years they will defending the enforcement of this "tinfoil hat stuff" without question.

They'll be like "well you should have to pay 10 bucks for a cheeseburger - I'm not paying for you to get fat." That's how they will defend this Orwellian bull**** in 10-years.

Just because something deals with healthcare doesn't mean it's ObamaCare related. There was a huge correlation between increased healthcare cost and nicotine use way before ObamaCare. And ObamaCare isn't the reason that these people are trying to cut costs or putting these measures into place.
 
Just another attempt by the GOP to control the citizens of Fl.

Except that it won't force them to do anything of the sort. A slightly critical read of the article should lead a reasonable person to believe that the headline is misleading.

You missed the point. Another poster wanted to make the debate about George Bush rather than the bolded topic.

If the bolded topic is wrong, why not divert to something else that is also wrong?

Of course it does considering Obamacare will be the staple insurance of the public sector........

Not to mention IMO there is no real evidence to support smoking causes cancer. I can show you a healthy 90-year-old smoker and I can show you a 35-year-old non-smoker (who never smoked ever) with lung cancer...... It all really comes down to genetics.. Some people are predisposed to cancer and others aren't...

Obviously smoking isn't good for you however no one can prove it "causes" cancer - not to mention use of anything in excess is bad for you.

There's not enough time in the day to adequately respond to all of the utter nonsense in your post.

I sincerely hope you have a great day. :2wave:

Good...

Just like progressives in government don't want to outright ban guns, free speech and state rights...

Yeah it's "tinfoil hat **** day" I suppose.

I bet the Jews thought registering as "Jews" and Germany as a whole giving up their guns was "for all good."

I forgot history will never be repeated...

No need to make it illegal. Just don't hire smokers. It's not like that would be a new trend. Lots of companies won't hire known/admitted smokers.
