Smokers Will Pay For SCHIP

Smoker will pay - yet again - for the children. DB Techno:

    One of the first bills to pass once President Barack Obama took office was the expansion of SCHIP, extending health care coverage to children.

    The expansion of health care coverage is in the form of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

    [...]

    The way in which this will be paid is out of the pockets of smokers.

    The federal tax on cigarettes will increase all the way up to $1.01 per pack, up from around 60 cents currently.

Because...redistributing wealth is good.
