Communism never was pretty. The government runs America now!
I say cut the salaries of politicians and their staff who are overweight by 25%.
LOL. What the hell does this have to do with patient care?
Also, Democrat strongholds such as West Virginia and Mississippi are the fattest states in the union. I suspect this will soon be dropped.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to fire obese people. Overweight healthcare workers have suddenly become unemployable.
Well that should really solve the shortage of healthcare workers! ;-)
I’m related to someone that works in a hospital, and they are very familiar with the financial aspect of things there.
They were already losing money from the medicare/medicaid patients, and the government is going to cut back reimbursement even more. Being in a rural area, they honestly don’t know if they are going to be able to survive for much longer.
Gosh, I looked and looked.
But I cannot find anywhere in the Constitution where the Federal Government can punish health care services to the sick and infirm in poor states, because some of their nurse’s aides are pleasantly pudgy.
In fact I find PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE in the Bill of Rights, 10th Amendment:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Trim the fat by increasing wait times. Welcome to socialized Hcare.
The insidious tentacle of communism slithers forward a little at a time.
Was it Stalin that said he would bury us without firing a shot? We have a spawn of Stalin in the White house.
Let’s trim the fat in the White House budget, the Congressional Budget, and the administrative agencies budgets, and fire everyone who is classified as “obese!” Yeah! That’s the ticket!
Make them eat the food they serve to patients, they’ll lose weight fast.
Who proposed this initially, Rep. Jerrold Nadler?
Is this a real story?
Its very disturbing, particularly when we are on the cusp of Obamacare taking effect.
The President’s scheme has to have a dampening effect on who wants to enter the medical profession, this just makes things worse.
Its like they are pushing the system rapid toward a breaking point.
