My ‘logic’ requires CONSENT not a mandate.

The issue I raised was who if anyone can be forced to:
(1) fill out periodic paperwork to get meds
(2) report foods/liquids eaten
(3) take drug A but not drug B
(4) do ‘this’ or lose benefits

and so on, with the point being that THAT goes on today. This is just one more level of intrusion.

I am NOT for this as a government mandate. I AM for this in certain high risk or ICU in-patient scenarios.

I am not for serial incremental erosion of our liberties.


But SHOULD ‘we’ do anything about the non-productive fat slob who lives next door sucking up expensive health care benefits, and doing NOTHING to maintain their health?

THAT is the ethical and societal issue I was trying to get at.

Remember, I am not in favor of the government requiring anyone to swallow a pill with an RFID tag without their consent.

Your analogy was the seatbelt law, which IS a mandate.
It was your analogy.
