A drunk, obese, smoker is a far different situation than a child born with lung, liver, heart problems even if the parents are those same drunk, obese smokers.

That's ridiculous. if we used your ideas about people and how they get their conditions, i guess you wouldnt want to cover pregnancy.
and illegal immigrant aren't allowed in exchanges.

I don't think there should be exchanges. Of course I also don't fall for 'it takes a village to raise a child'. WTF ever happened to individual responsibility. How about a smoker unable to afford insurance on his/her own quit smoking and not only lower their rates but have an extra 10 bucks a/day, 300 a month. Instead of requiring the rest of us to supplement his/her stinky arse?

And illegals shouldn't even be here hence 'illegal'.

not sure why even bring up illegals in these discussions, as they aren't germane to the topic.
they went to exchanges because single payer wouldn't fly, which is too bad. i think obamacare, like many govt efforts, is well-meant but won't be the great 'repair' they think it will. it's another example of good intentions that will go awry.
