No Health Care For Fatties
« on: March 13, 2003, 02:41:41 PM »
Since we are eliminating lazy fat people from the health care system, I think we should eliminate all other people who take part in activities which increase their risk of incurring health care expenses:

- Let's start with skiers and snowboarders. Let Darwin take care of these bellybutton clowns when they are freezing on a mountainside with a compound femur fracture. They can pay for their own ski rescue team and helicopter.
- Anybody who takes part in any dangerous sport. Skydivers, mountaineers, skateboarders, bicyclists, etc. Emergency room and orthopedic surgery costs would plummet.
- Also anybody who drinks alcohol or smokes. Both addictions cause disease, and alcohol also increases the rate of accidental injury. Drunk drivers cost us millions every year. Dirty addicts!
- People who drive cars that can go faster than the speed limit. We know that speed kills.
- All motorcyclists. No other activity creates more drooling vegetables. Brain surgery costs would drop quickly if we got these idiots out of the system.
- People who work with power tools. Sew your own damn finger back on. Emergency rooms are full of these guys.
- People who own guns. Guns are more likely to injure their owners than any other person. Rosie was right!
- People who spend a lot of time outdoors. Skin cancer KILLS!

Join me, let's clean up this country and reduce health care costs! Keep the USA healthy and safe!

ok funked..

I'll play all the sports I can , including so-called dangerous sports and you eat all the cheeseburgers and fries you can.

we'll so who ends up where at the end  


'dangerous' sports, including 'extreme' sports cause far fewer deaths and health problems than the populace that's obese and does nothing for their own health..

btw.. I'm not trying to single out fat people per se.. in fact, I read somewhere that a 'fat' person that regularly excersices will have fewer health problems than skinny people who don't excercise.

;)

but I'll go along with the boarders !! lol     jk

make it a requirement that anyone who spends more than 30 min out of bed must wear a helmet.

I know Wlf I'm just busting your balls a bit.  :)
I am truly afraid of the safety nazis though.  Using our (effectively) socialist health care system to manipulate every detail of people's behaviors is a scary thought.  If we let them manipulate our diet or exercise then how long until the other health risks on my list are included as well?  After obesity ceases to be the number one health risk then they will just go after the next one on the list.

You are mixing up a classic sci-fi movie with a Twilight Zone episode called "To Serve Man"

Yea, then it'd be just like The Stand where there is 6 people left in all of America.  Sounds like a winner.
