You might no exptect the taxpayer to pay for it but we will in many ways. And, there are millions of fat people that see no reason why they should have special accomodation bestowed on them at other's expense. The lack of perspective on this issue is frightening. We are becoming a nation of obese people - it has happend gradually - and no one seems to want to face the ramifications this will have on the future of our society. It's "I'm fat and happy; my kids are fat and happy, leave us alone. (except when we need someone to do something for us that we can't cause we're too fat)".

PLEASE work to change this obscene system.

Don't pay for my obesity, nor anybody else.

Don't pay for smoking related diseases.

Don't pay for alcohol related illness.

Don't pay for sickness related to the use of illicit drugs.

Don't pay for injuries of motorcycle riders, with or without helmets.

Don't pay for sickness related to destructive behaviors, like gay sex and using dirty needles.

Don't pay for injuries received in dangerous hobbies, e.g. mountain climbing, hiking in the woods with bears, falling out of boats, etc.

Don't pay for illegal aliens to have babies.

Don't pay for any healthcare for people who work and choose not to carry health insurance.

Don't pay for healthcare for people who can work, but do not choose to do so.

In fact, get the federal government completely OUT of the healthcare business -- IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Get the federal government out of the business of providing charity -- IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to provide ANY KIND of welfare, especially not faith-based welfare - if the States choose to do so, then so be it, that's their right under the 9th and 10th Amendments.

And most of all stop the government from taxing the people for the provision of these programs - and eliminate the wasteful and inefficient bureaucracy that administers these programs -- and reduce the size of the federal government -- and get them out of every detail of our lives.

Work to change this paradigm before its too late.

VOTE DEOMCRAT - IT BEATS WORKING
