Possibly they will pay for your lobotomy Sindee!

You can’t MAKE large people DO anything!

Even skinny people had better FLOCK to appropriateness centers and try to get healthy on their own. Doctor’s aren’t going to take a pay cut! They are going to retire in droves, leave-taking less doctors and more people waiting months for an appointment. Excellent luck with that!!

Obama said he doesn’t have a problem with “eliminating” 25 million people. If you don’t work and pay taxes, you could be on the list.

Bottom line: You’re NOT going to get health care, if you aren’t WORTH IT! Neither is your your spouse, children, parents, grandparents.

Babies and children will be “eliminated” because society does not have anything invested in them.

Obama’s plot may mandate insurance coverage for all but it cannot force a self to follow a particular lifestyle. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. Even Obama and Pelosi can’t go door to door and see if you are attending the gym on a regular basis. By the way, why only the larger people. That is discrimination.

A lot of people are too bone idle to work out, no matter what. You can go run further than for free already. The truth is that junk food and electronic entertainment are usually more appealing than exercise. I only work out for vanity reasons. Yes, I know it’s healthy but my main motivation is bathing suit season.

Huh? It doesn’t benefit medical industries & doctors. It CUTS medicare payments to doctors. That’s why they have a separate “doctor fix” and 1/3 of doctors have threatened to quit if Obama-care passed.

Insurance companies are being vilified as the terrible guy that is making huge profits on the backs of consumers. They only have in this area a 3% profit margin. That’s tiny!

I am not responsible for paying for gym memberships. If you want to exercise go out and walk. If you want to join a Gym, pay for it yourself. Where do we stop? We want people to eat in excellent health, so we should hire everyone a chef? I am saddened by the path America is now taking, people now want everyone else to pay for their wants.

There are broadcast exercise conveniences like the YMCA or other broadcast recreational conveniences. These are free to the broadcast.

You obviously aren’t aware that many insurance companies offer consequence loss help as it is. Mine with BCBS really offers a 20% discount for things like Jenny Craig. Some of the plans on the exchanges will no doubt do the same.

A gym membership is $40/month. If a stout self cannot afford $40/month, how is lowering it to $5/month somehow going to motivate people into getting fit?
