who determines "your time"?

If you live longer than "your time", does this mean the state can order all health care cut?

Does that mean the states determines "your time" and the state establishes a "duty to die"?

This official has never worked in the real world.

"When anyone dies at an early age from a preventable cause in New York City, it's my fault," New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden declared recently

The God-complex of the busybody nannystater.

And when all the hard body aerobics babes in their nice tight spandex outfits give you a heart attack Gramp Pas, be sure to sue the Health Nazis and NOT the Health Clubs.

Yeah, right. When was the last time you saw a law passed that applied equally to the goobermint as it does to the employed? Obviously, any government need for medical information is instantly and automatically deemed legitimate. That's why calling HIPAA "medical privacy" is such a scam. Your medical records are private from everyone except those you'd like to prevent from seeing them. SOS-DD

Fire this power hungry bureaucrat bloated from self importance. If not, soon he will be ordering people when to go to sleep.

Since when is state mandated exercise a conservative idea?

This is just like the introductory pages to 1984.

From Orwell's 1984, Chapter 3:

'Smith!' screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. '6079 Smith W.! Yes, you! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You're not trying. Lower, please! That's better, comrade. Now stand at ease, the whole squad, and watch me.'

A sudden hot sweat had broken out all over Winston's body. His face remained completely inscrutable. Never show dismay! Never show resentment! A single flicker of the eyes could give you away.




All too believable, or unfreaking-believable, depending upon one's mood.

"Diabetics whose A1c levels are too high will receive a letter and educational materials from the DOH and their physicians will be alerted to their test results."

5 years later

Diabetics whose A1c levels are too high will receive a letter and educational materials from the DOH and their physicians will be alerted to their test results and they will have their debit cards restricted so that they can no longer purchase any foods with too high of a fat content or sugar...

Well, it's obvious that you aren't taking this seriously.

Precisely. Never trust the state.

"When anyone dies at an early age from a preventable cause in New York City, it's my fault,"

The very definition of totalitarian hubris.

The Adventures of Citizen X!

In this episode: Citizen X! is stopped and questioned by a Committee Member.

Scene: Unity in Diversity Way, a public thoroughfare, Grayburg, USA.

Citizen X! Produce your papers!

Yes sir. Which papers would the Committee Member like to see?

Don't play dumb with the Member, Citizen! I want to see all the papers you are required to carry when you leave your dwelling.

We'll start with your

Caloric Intake Ration Card

and your current

CO2 Personal Emissions Results.

Then I will need you to produce your

Contributions to the State Testimonials,

and

Permissions for Animal Companions

(if any).

Then your

Certificate of Tolerance

Personal Travel Limits License

Public Transit Compliance Forms

Personal Habitat Authorization

Allowed Personal Consumption Schedule,

your

Mullah's Permission to Marry or Cohabitate

and

Fitness to Propagate Adjudication Receipt

Sir, I can produce my CIRC, CPER, my CST's, PAC's, my CT, PTLL, PTCF’s and my PHA. Unfortunately, my AC ate my APCS, MPMC and my FPAR.

I see by your hat that you have been to Reeducation. Would you like to go again?

No sir.

You have one week to straighten out your documents. Your Neighborhood Lurker will be informed!

A fixit ticket?

That’s right, a fixit ticket. One week!

Damn...

Stay tuned for further Adventures of Citizen X!

Maybe we should throw Thomas Frieden in jail, since he's responsible for all these deaths.
