[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in an ER and for a few years now we have been getting a constant stream of young people with cyclic vomiting, racing heart, panic attacks, stomach pain and so on who refuse to believe their daily high dose of THC has anything to do with it. “Figure out what’s wrong with me! It’s not the weed.” 
[b]If we get universal healthcare someday (which I would like) is that what we should be paying for? [/b]People have to take care of themselves at some point.[/quote]

Hasn't this been discussed ad nauseam already? [/quote]

I don’t know, has it? I just wish I could say “you’re doing this to yourself and there are people with actual emergencies who need us.” These are 22 year olds coming in twice a week for their vomiting problem![/quote]

You are more than welcome to say that. That wasn't your question though. You want the insurance to not pay for their treatment which is a slippery slope. Should you treat an obese man who comes in with a heart attack or a stroke? After all, it was probably caused by his obesity. Should we be giving insulin to diabetics who could get off with better eating and losing weight? [/quote]

You really want me to answer that?
My own father is on dialysis and wants me to donate my kidney while he continues to eat potato chips and anything else he wants. “I can’t help it if I have a craving.”
I can tell you right now that money is everything to my dad and if there were some sort of financial incentive, he would never have gotten obese in the first place.
