Sorry, too bad. If you were in construction and you hurt yourself and partly it was because you were out of shape, TOUGH. Go learn a new trade.
I don't think that's a very healthy reaction. Some people do get injured and they need to be taken care of. My reaction to this report is that every plan has problems and this person is choosing to accentuate them, rather than the overall effectiveness of this plan. These problems will be ironed out or the plan will once again be addressed.
