Didn't you hear? We are all going to have health insurance!

Seriously though, the amount of cigarette taxes collected from smokers should more than pay for treatment of uninsured smokers. You can also add in the hundreds of billions of dollars being collected by the states from the tobacco settlement in the late 90s. If the government actually spent these funds in the manner they said they would general taxpayers wouldn't be paying for anyone's treatments for anything.
