        @Atul_Gawande So we should pay for healthcare for a guy who has been a lifelong smoker? Don't root for laws for your own profits Dr Gawande.

        @ParasWadehra @gregstoll @Atul_Gawande a national health service is good idea.. As a smoker i used to pay £3 for every pack of cigarette.

        @hermitdave @gregstoll @Atul_Gawande There was a law proposed for increasing the price of cigarettes which was shot down by smoking voters!

        @Atul_Gawande No one disagrees that healthcare and affordability needs to be fixed. What we disagree on is whether this law will fix it.
