This opinion piece kills me. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, brother of Rahm, is a former senior health care adviser to President Obama. Now he writes a piece in The New York Times telling people to skip their annual physical. It says, “Most think of it as the human equivalent of a 15,000-mile checkup and fluid change, which can uncover hidden problems and ensure longer engine life.”
“There is only one problem: From a health perspective, the annual physical exam is basically worthless.”

An annual physical was where my hypertension was discovered. There is a reason it is called a “silent killer.”
Give him a break.
He’s just trying to help out the Death Panels by reducing their workload...
Same here.
Guys everywhere rejoice... (we HATE doctor visits)
This truly is an evil bunch.

“Physical”
I’m saying all the things that I know you’ll like
Making good conversation
I gotta handle you just right
You know what I mean
I took you to an intimate restaurant
Then to a suggestive movie
There’s nothing left to talk about
Unless it’s horizontally
Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
I’ve been patient, I’ve been good
Tried to keep my hands on the table
It’s gettin’ hard this holdin’ back
If you know what I mean
I’m sure you’ll understand my point of view
We know each other mentally
You gotta know that you’re bringin’ out
The animal in me
Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
Let’s get animal, animal
I wanna get animal
Let’s get into animal
Let me hear your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
Anything that comes out of the mouths of leftists I do the complete opposite.
They telegraph it and people are still too damn stupid to recognize it.
Isn’t the annual phys a required coverage under the ACA?
It's the FAA class three medical that I also have to take that's worthless.
Yes, so you’re paying for it whether you get one or not.
Didn’t this guy say he had lived long enough?
Why is he still here?
The lecture from BCBS was to get one. I did.
More Grubering.
Hey, Red, they’re talking about a different physical this time.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. God will take me when he sees fit, with or without physicals. Which is why I don’t get them. 61 and going strong. And no drugs except the occasional aspirin.
Reads like a check-off item on a death panelist member!
This is how the Death Panels start. “Not with a bang, but a whimper”.
