they said he would "be a burden on their heath care system"

When you have socialized medicine then I guess you can pretty much tell people how to live I guess.

I am currently trying to get a work visa to go to New Zealand and I can attest how freaking retarded their immigration policy is at times.
My skills fall under two completely different categories, both of which the country has a labor shortage of. To get a work visa one needs a job offer from an employer in NZ.
However, every employer i've contacted declares that they require me to have a work visa before they can give me a job offer. Its like some retarded game of ping-pong.
On top of that, the immigration requirements are based on a score system. Half of the possible points you can get are based on your past work experience in NZ (of 2+ years) .. which of course, is impossible for new immigrants since they've never had a work visa in the first place. The other half is based on IF you have a job offer (ping-pong) and if you have a PhD (if you have a mere bachelor degree that dont count for much.. in fact you get almost hte same points for a bachelor degree as you would for a 3 month certificate course).
really crazy.
health and character are the other 2 requirements. You have to x-ray yourself, get a physicians report, a POLICE report to prove you've not been in jail lately... lol.

Ever watched "Sicko"?

The news article is more a reflection of (popular) headlines these days on obesity, there isn't a day that goes by here in Aus or NZ that's another headline stating child/adult obesity and it's impact on their health,healthcare and cost.
Seems those that successfully turned smoking around to be anti social behavior are now focusing on obesity and using similar tactics.
As for the point system, yes a PhD will always get through that's because both Australia & NZ are looking for immigrants that can fill high demand professions. Doctors,Scientists are of course always going to be high demand. Lawyers? We have enough of those already.
Basic trades Electricans,plumbers,mechanics etc are high demand as both NZ and Aust turned away from apprentships towards university as the only career path in the 80's & 90's it's only recently that government have started focusing on the trades again as campaign issues.
Nurses,Teachers,Police, IT (programmers,developers not MCP's etc) all high demand. NZ had active campaign for years and still does bringing police over from UK to NZ to fill recruitment requirements as they struggle to maintain numbers over those leaving. Unfort their last big drive resulted in well over half leaving before their first six months.
Australia looks favorably on people that are willing to work in the outback. If your a teacher and agree to two years teaching in the outback might help along way in your case compared to someone who wants to only work in the private city schools.
Mining in Australia also has a huge workforce demand at the moment, if you have any experience in the mining industry there are plenty of well paying jobs available.
But I agree the point system is frustrating i've had cousins from England turned down just by missing out on a few points. Ideally if your under 30 well educated,high demand profession with alteast 5 years experience,healthy and play sport you should be fine. Oh and for Australia answer 20 questions about the nations history. Plus the odd trick question like how many stars on the flag. :-)
Something else on Aussie, if you can get a six month working visa they can automatically extend it to 12mths if you agree to work in the outback. I'm not sure if this is one of those under 30 gigs, but a friend recently came over from South Africa. Started with the six month visa, worked on a farm,extended another 12mths and now shes applying for permenant residency after securing her normal professional job in Sydney.

A movie I watched.. not a great movie, but a great concept---Gattica
It had to do with if your genes were not engineered from conception, you were not considered employable for high level jobs.
Why waste time in training for someone prone to cancer/heart disease/ mumps/hearing loss...

kgb... I did not see "sicko" does it show how we here do not let fat people into the country? I see a lot of fat mexicans.
If it is as inaccurate as every other michele moore film tho... It would probly just make me disgusted.

michele moore is fat and owns stock in halaburton. :p

A more apt title might be "We already have too many fat chicks"?

I got nothing against fat chicks.. especially in the winter.
kgb.. michele moore is one of the biggest liars that ever made a documentary.. right up there with gore.
Are you saying that even tho every other one of his "documentaries" was total trash... this one is different? that he has turned over a new leaf?

Here in the USA, we are looking for ignorant 3rd-world people who can't even read and write in their OWN language, much less ours, that we may be able to spend our hard-earned tax dollars taling care of them

What an interesting concept: making rules about what kind of people can live in your nation and enforcing those standards.
