What the heck let's all look like this.

To all of you who say: "Let me get as fat as I want." When this thing gets sick and my wife has to take care of her in Cardio-Thoracic Intensive care because she has forced her heart to do the work for three people and it costs the health care system a couple of hundred thousand dollars, don't complain about the cost to you in the form of higher rates.

"This thing" just happens to be as human and fallible as raybbr.

One would think that the conservative position would be to fight socialized medicine in all its aspects, but the small minded concentrate on calling others fat and blaming high costs on people who don't adhere to the lifestyle choices of the great raybbr.

Latest picture of Monica Lewinsky?

When this thing gets sick and my wife has to take care of her...

This "thing" is a person, bub. Glad your wife has enough humanity to take care of those who have medical problems, but you don't? Are you so high and mighty that you'll never have any health problems brought on by your lifestyle, genetic make up, poor judgement, and that you are immune to any happenstance which I will have to foot the bill for? My, my, we'd all love to see your perfect self posted. As for the government telling us what we should eat, that's hogwash. The scales cringe when I step on, but in blatant opposition to raybbr and the government I have normal bp and don't have diabetes - neener, neener. If any fat needs trimming it's the government's spending and kick backs such as all that under the table dealings with the UN to lift Iraq sanctions. The US has much more pressing problems than how many Oreos it's citizens stuff in their faces. Can we all say Big Brother?

It doesn't matter. The are going to charge higher rates no matter what. Because they will find something wrong with your lifestyle. Now you have to have bp of 120/80 or less to be considered healthy. So how many people will get health insurance increases from this because they are considered "at risk" now, where before they were not. The problem is not what you think. The problem is that because we are no longer self reliant individuals and most of the sheeple want the .gov to take care of them, we will continue to see any and all freedoms removed one at a time. From what you eat, drink or smoke, to what you drive, where you travel and where you work.

But don't worry, be happy. The Ministry of Truth will protect you. It worked great in 1934 Germany and I'm sure it will work here too.

So do you think that the government should ban certain fattening foods, and everyone should get a government defined ration, that the government decides it's appropriate for them?

I guess you are in favor of the government shouldn't even pay anyone salaries, just keep all our money, eliinate all private property, and then give us appropriate size places to live, appropriate food and clothing, right?

I hope you know what that's called: communism, which even the so called communist countries didn't achieve, but were striving for

I'm pretty sure I would have been able to go my entire life without ever having to see that picture.

And when YOU get sick, do you want the health workers who are caring for you to refer to you as a "thing"?

Consider it done.

Your picture is absolutely too funny for words!
Your words are absolutely too much like the liberals.
