All patients failing to comply with government weight guidelines will be deported to North Korea.
I’m very much in agreement about helping patients with weight control but not at govt directive patients are people not cattle

In my opinion, the article is silly. I’ve read that it’s hard to get an appointment to see a doctor in the United Kingdom. Where are they going to get all the doctors to see everyone and monitor them carefully? And if they find the doctors, where will they get the money?
they will have to report the whole bloody country
Meanwhile, in the USA, my medicare advantage provider Humana called me on Christmas eve to remind me that my Diabetes medication prescription needed to be refilled and offered to call the pharmacy to order the refill.
The cost of monitoring at risk patients medications apparently is less than paying for hospital bills resulting from not taking the medication. Humana is especially attentive to all aspects of the treatment and assuring they are in fact carried out. For diabetes treatment Humana is proactive.
I do not have a serious diabetes problem but I also have a doctor that provides excellent treatment
Cut out the carbs and eat more healthy fats: you will lose weight. It’s that simple. But the gov’t is giving the exact opposite and utterly wrong advice to people.

What’s the point of REPORTING it to the central planners. I would assume that a person’s weight is entered and electronically tracked in that country from the day they’re born. One can easily have the databases flag the BMI violators (as the Brits, no doubt, see them).
Hundreds of years ago, Sweden had a college of physicians, whose dictates had the force of law. At one point, they decided that coffee was “bad for you”, so they instituted a complete prohibition of coffee, outlawing its importation, provision, sale *and* consumption.
About all that remains of their “noble experiment” is an oil painting, depicting something best described as a “coffee bust”. Police bursting into a room where several people had been drinking coffee, struggling with the men there, while a young woman valiantly tried to drink a couple gallons of evidence. (Unfortunately I cannot find an online picture of this painting.)

Do they have to report people who are known butt pirates?
