CVS changes name, stops tobacco sales early

25. I so cringe whenever I see that false equivalency here

I expect it from the Ayn Rand types in R-land. The "Why should I have to pay for your (fill in the blank)" meme.

"Unemployment? They should look harder for work. Not my prob."

"Welfare? They should have planned better. She should have kept her legs together. They should get help at their church."

Yours is indulgence. Wow! So anything defined as being HUMAN shouldn't be covered.

But maybe as a society we all bear the responsibility for allowing corporations to push cigarettes on kids, to glorify it in our movies, and to put it in each home on TV. Maybe we all bear responsibility for creating a society that relies on cars instead of public transportation leaving the population with no choices unless they are in a major city. Maybe we shouldn't connect sports with beer or wine with romance. I could go on and on but you get my point.

Also in case you reject that point, where do we stop? You got the flu and want insurance to pay for hospitalization? Maybe you should have had your flu shot. And if you didn't take care of your own body to fight off bugs why should we have to pay?

Your boyfriend beat you and cracked your ribs? Take care of it yourself. Why should we have to pay for your bad decisions? I could go on and on with this and cover every malady that affects mankind.

It's the reason we form a society to begin with. To take care of each other. To protect each other. In turn we are taken care of and protected. What a concept!
