Some medications are known to increase weight!. Add to these other medications make people drowsy rendering them inactive!. Some post surgery treatment of cancer patients suddenly make then bloat up!.

First of all, alcoholics, drug addicts and smokers all have an illness with addiction!.!.!.and yes the state should pay for their treatment!.!.!.and NO people who do those things are not a drain on society, YOU are a drain on society to even come up with a question like this!. And how can you say that they do nothing in return for society that is such a dumb statement!.!.Just because you smoke drink or do drug does not mean you do nothing in return to society, its not like people who smoke don't go to work or volunteer or donate!.!.you need to think before you speak!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
www!.oasas!.state!.ny!.us for some up to date info and links!. I disagree that serious addictions are a weakness of mind, because scientific research in recent years has proven it is a biological problem!. However, "High end users" who don't get "fixed" via traditional interventions can be extremely expensive to the taxpayer, and so the state of NY is looking at blending health, rehab services, and evidence based treatments to improve efficiency!. Once a human being is in recovery, they have skills and talents to offer!. We don't toss away people with diabetes, heart problems, or hearing loss, and we don't throw away addicted people, no matter how frustrating or infuriating drunks and addicts can be when they hurt those they love!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Excuse me, but I pay my own insurance!. And not all those conditions are caused by "weakness of mind" or "lack of self control"!. Ever seen a drug addicted baby!? Or how about a person who has a thyroid problem that causes uncontrollable weight gain!? I don't see how just because someone is a smoker they are a drain!. What about those people who save lives like doctors, nurses, EMT, social workers, etc that smoke!? I bet that if you were in a car wreck and a doctor who happened to smoke saved your life you won't consider them a drain!.

People who don't use drugs, smoke, drink, etc, are still at risk for the same problems, It doesn't matter!. If it is genetic do you think they should have to pay for their own!? I would much rather pay for a smoker who has paid taxes than support some lazy person with 5 kids and no motivation to do anything, but mooch off of the government!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I pay extra in insurance because I am a smoker!. I contribute plenty as a member of our armed forces and to top it all off my doctor says I'm more in shape and healthier than many of his patients because I run everyday and eat healthy!. Insurance companies already charge more for ppl with these habits!. Do you think you should have to pay more if cancer is common in your family!? What about for people who don't use sunscreen or have allergies!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have been taken this medicine that has made me overweight, and its not my fault, so no I would like to see if Dr!. could come up with an alternative way for me to be healtyer, also my mother was an alcoholic and she almost died, I found her passed out when I was 5!. So I would give a million dollars if I had it to help other family's recover!. What has this country come to!? it use to be that if some fell we would help them, know its just get on your own because it was your fault!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yes, they caused their condition!. They brought it upon their selves, they should pay for it!.
However, sometimes they are not in the condition to pay for it and need urgent help!. If they are willing to help themselves, but don't know how, i think it's ohkay for the state to pay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just because people have problems it does not mean they do not contribute!. Where do you stop with this!? Realistically anyone who chooses to eat fast food or buy processed foods from the supermarket are at risk of problems too!. Same with people who choose to regularly use chemicals in their homes!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Mental illness is a sign of weakness too, should they not have to pay for their medical care!? Nobody chooses to be mentally ill, or obese contrary to popular belief, their are a lot of medical reasons that may cause a person to be obese!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
