Please ping me when the federal government dictates to private employers that that they must fire workers who they deem to be living an unhealthy lifestyle.
I’m hoping that there will be an enormous backlash in November to Obamalini’s policies...
They’ll never dictate it, they’ll just arrange legislation so the employers are forced to do it on their own. Sort of like the way Denmark handles private car ownership: No one is forbidden to drive a car, but no cars are produced domestically, so all must be imported, and all imported cars are saddled with a 150% sales tax. Further, gasoline is heavily taxed, to the point where it’s far more cost-effective to use public transportation. Likewise, no one will *require* employers to fire “unhealthy” employees, they’ll just arrange legislation in such a way that insurers will be required to charge exorbitant premiums for an arbitrary list of “unhealthy” lifestyle choices, including diets with lots of red meat, smoking, motorcycle riding, “adventure sports” (rock climbing, hang gliding), “excessive” weight (no doubt based on the worthless BMI statistic), and so on (homosexuality will be excluded, despite being far more dangerous, as will certain racially-correlated factors). It will amount to the same thing in the end.
