Smoker Supported Health Plan

I picked this up on the InsureBlog. Apparently smokers will subsidize (via taxes) a state supported health insurance plan for lower income residents of Indiana.

It seems like a step in the right direction. Money will be available for preventative car and medical treatments. The income levels of about 20k for individuals and 40k for families are fairly low, considering those with pre-existing conditions are usually at the most risk for being uninsured. A great program would take that into consideration, but it's a step.... a step.....
