Americans Back Higher Health Insurance Rates for Smokers

Fifty-eight percent of Americans say health insurance companies would be justified in setting higher rates for people who smoke. This is on par with the 60% seen in 2011, but down modestly from 65% in 2003. Fewer, 41%, support setting higher rates for those who are significantly overweight, but this is among the higher support levels that Gallup has found for this policy in the last decade. [cont.]
