Clearly these are the kind of people Rep Mo Brooks (R-AL) is |talking about| when he says sick people should pay more for health insurance because they've made bad choices. Sic Mo:

“It will allow insurance companies to require people who have higher health care costs to contribute more to the insurance pool that helps offset all these costs, thereby reducing the cost to those people who lead good lives, they’re healthy, they’ve done the things to keep their bodies healthy,” explained Brooks. “And right now, those are the people who have done things the right way that are seeing their costs skyrocketing.”

Snark aside: good luck to them. It's appalling that we even have to have this discussion at all, just because some rich fucks want to finance themselves a tax cut by ruining affordable health insurance for others.

Go ahead. I can't even .

Jesus, that makes me angry. It doesn't have to be this way.
