New federal regulations issued this week stipulate that the electronic health records--that all Americans are supposed to have by 2014 under the terms of the stimulus law that President Barack Obama signed last year--must record not only the traditional measures of height and weight, but also the Body Mass Index: a measure of obesity.
The obesity-rating regulation states that every American's electronic health record must: Calculate body mass index. Automatically calculate and display body mass index (BMI) based on a patients height and weight.
The law also requires that these electronic health records be available--with appropriate security measures--on a national exchange.

Hi Ms Omyx
I can’t come out and play tonite :( but checking in periodically...Hope you had a wonderful day!!
ping for Bill
According to the idiotic BMI, every single player in the NFL is overweight.
You have a muslim enclave? geez..that right there is discouraging.
One thing about the current situation though, the truth is coming out everyday about what these politicians have been doing for years. Both repubics and demons. A bright spotlight has been turned on.
Btw...if you have an Aldi in the area I recommend it highly. They are cheaper than the store from hell. For example, Where I live...their milk is thirty cents cheaper a gallon than Walmart Veggies are 1/2 the price per can and are good quality.
Tyranny coerced through the pocketbook.

Sure! What about Rosie O’Donuts? Oprah? Hillary?
This is a free country. Our Constitution allows us to be fat or thin. We are allowed to be unhealthy. It is none of the government's business.
This needs to be STOPPED.
Oh for Pete’s sake, FUBO and your gargantuan Wookie beard and the camel you rode in on.
I have really big and natural breasts. At 5’1” and 100 pounds I may be sent off for some kind of study. I have never fit into any criteria.
I wish we had other stores to choose from. We’ve got Walmart, K-Mart and Harvey’s, pretty much. I’m planning to go out of town Saturday to do some shopping I can’t do in the immediate area. I don’t think there’s an Aldi’s there either, however. If I ever see one, you can be sure I’ll go in and take a look. Thanks for the tip!
Well I hope the truth is getting out. It’s unbelievable how compliant the media has become, even with the oil spill. I thank God for computers. But now I have to hit the hay. Thanks for a nice exchange, and good night to you. :)
The government will define "fattening", and the list will include wholesome real food... what humans have eaten since forever, such as beef, eggs, and butter and gasp, salt.
What will be approved will be a cornucopia of frankenfoods (processed with frankenfats not that evil animal fat), "healthy" whole grains that not only invite inflammation and other woes, they are nutritionally bankrupt compared to their calorie density (mind your portions, fatsos!). And of course you may choose from a wide assortment of low-fat this and that containing plenty of sugar, all manner of chemical cr@pola and insulin-spiking carbohydrates in order to ensure a steady supply of obese, sick patients in desperate demand for Obamacare.
All hail Pharoah FUBO.
The House can defund this monstrosity as much as possible until a, hopefully, conservative takes the reins in 2012.
Amnesty doesn’t have the votes now...so why do you think the votes will be there in the future?
We own our own bodies. The government does not.
When my husband was in the military I remember there were problems connected with athletic people because people who worked out with weights and were in superb condition were considered overweight.
This is a horror. Everybody is different. We own our own bodies.
I would need a sample that would provide a baseline for empirical proof. I don’t think it would need to be peer reviewed but would have a better sense after my study.
This is part of a cool and calculated plan for us to not know who to shoot first.
You said a mouthful.
FUBO
