If the government buys drugs like you want them to how are they going to help pay for your health insurance under this new crappy health insurance bill that passed. Thats right according to you lets punish the healthy person and make them pay more for no reason other than to benefit you. Is the government going to pay to send my son to college? Probably not. So why should a healthy person get punished to help pay for your health insurance just because you have a pre existing condition. As you also said you care about yourself well guess what all I care about is myself my son and wife. I could care less if your wanting pity for you or help with your health insurance premium because you have a pre existing condition.

What does legalizing drugs have to do with the healthcare debate? For that matter, what does it have to do with mexican tourism??

I was asking that question because letswastemoney feels he deserves a free ride because he has pre existing condition. If the government pays for the drugs where is the money going to come from to pay for his free ride in regards to health insurance.

He said that in another thread that was about the health care bill.

I meant that if the government sold the illegal drugs, the drug wars might stop. I worded it poorly.

I wasn't mentioning health care though.

Actually, it doesn't even have to be the government offering drugs.

Let anyone sell the less dangerous drugs like marijuana legally, and the drug wars might at least be reduced.

People would become addicted, but people are going to buy illegal drugs whether it's illegal or not, so the current system doesn't work.

i think they should legalize drugs for several reasons. one, it would hurt the drug cartels, two it would help budgets as the need for jail space and guards would drop dramatically, and three-the money made by taxing the stuff would add to tax revenue.

and like dala said, what does legalizing marijuana, etc, have to do with the health care debate?
