A small Italian village has banned its residents from becoming seriously ill.
People living in Belcastro "are ... ordered to avoid contracting any illness that may require emergency medical assistance," a decree from local Mayor Antonio Torchia states.
The village's on-call doctor surgery is also only open sporadically and offers no cover during weekends, holidays or after hours.
As part of the decree, residents have also been ordered "not to engage in behaviours that may be harmful and to avoid domestic accidents", and "not to leave the house too often, travel or practise sports, and to [instead] rest for the majority of the time".

Just a form of socialized medicine - the penalty for noncompliance is lack of treatment.
Unless this is an elaborate example of Italian humor, this Mayor is not living in reality. It sounds like something a Home Owner’s Association Administrator would dream about actually doing, knowing they don’t dare try it.
Well why the hell didn’t somebody think of this before?
Reminds me of a sitcom I saw once - aa family with about 8 kids..
Kid: Mom, I think I have asthma.
Mom: No you don’t. We can’t afford asthma.
OBAMACARE SECONDS THAT MANDATE
Is this the Bee?
Lol!!!
In 2022, it was announced that Cuba would send 497 doctors to the Italian region over three years to work in various medical facilities. Regional governor Roberto Occhiuto said last year that these doctors had “saved” Calabria’s hospitals.

Well crap! Wish I’d thought of that.
“Nice health history you’ve got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.”
As it says in the article:
>Torchia said the move was “obviously a humorous provocation”, but that it was having more of an effect than the urgent notices he had sent to regional authorities to highlight the shortcomings of the local healthcare system.
:)
Perhaps Elon & Vivek are right. Bring this Italian mayor in on an H-1B visa to replace Governor Gavin Newscum.
😂👍
Torchia said the decision was “obviously a humorous provocation,” yet it has proven to be more impactful than the urgent notifications he had sent to regional authorities regarding the deficiencies in the local healthcare system.
Hope he gets really ill or breaks a leg.
They do not have permission to die without a license, either.
Don’t’ let the word get out to DC politicians...
