Dick Cheney smoked three packs of cigarettes a day for twenty years.
He had his first heart attack at age 37.
He has had several more heart attacks and multiple other heart problems due to high cholesterol, lack of exercise and every other negligent behavior a person can inflict on his own body (all of this AFTER his first heart attack).
This past march, at age 71, he got a heart transplant. Doctors expect he should live another ten years.
The one thing good that can come from Obamacare is that people like Dick Cheney will be in their own little group along with all the other heavy smokers (with high cholesterol and chicken legs from lack of exercise).
They will all pay the high cost of their unhealthy habits because they will ensure each other.
Too bad these new health exchanges won’t have a jury of peers to qualify members for expensive benefits like heart surgery.
Dick Cheney would have passed away long ago.
