'Obamacare' could price smokers out of health care | Democrat and Chronicle | democratandchronicle.com

WASHINGTON — Millions of smokers could be priced out of health insurance because of tobacco penalties in President Barack Obama’s health care law, according to experts who are just now sharing the potential impact of a little-noted provision in the massive legislation.

The Affordable Care Act — “Obamacare” to its detractors — allows health insurers to charge smokers buying individual policies up to 50 percent higher premiums starting next Jan. 1.

For a 55-year-old smoker, the additional cost could be nearly $4,250 a year. A 60-year-old could wind up paying nearly $5,100 on top of regular premiums.

    I'm here Tib. Well a friend pm'ed this article from Copenhagen about Dr's treating arthritis patients with honey and cinnamon and getting good results. 1 tbls honey and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon dissolved in a cup of hot water. Well with the pain he's been in we're ready to try anything so off to the store for honey we go. I mix the honey and cinnamon and he has that and then a coffee. After that it was a couple aleve and a nap. When he got up and I asked how he felt he said pretty good. That's unreal. I haven't heard him say that in a very long time.
