I don’t think people with higher health risks should pay more taxes because they are ill and they haven’t chosen this future, it’s bad luck. In my opinion, a person without health risks can spend more money than another with health risks. I think they don’t have to pay more taxes because there are a lot of this people who can’t afford to pay more, people who don’t have enough money to live and pay their taxes. It’s true that smokers have decided to start smoking, that they have chosen and enjoyed it, but now they are ill and they can’t stop smoking.
Finally they shouldn’t pay more taxes because we don’t know who will spend more in hospitals, the healthiest person could be the one who spends more money.
