If we use a surcharge for those who are smokers or any other high health risk individual, then the system would not be fair. Rare are the individual that never use the health care system, and as each one of us get older, we use the health care system more often. cheers, J.P. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!163!223!Jean-pierre.Beland Internet: Jean-pierre.Beland@f223.n163.z1.fidonet.org
