Obesity allows you to live the way you want - Commiecare™ doesn't.

[the invisib1e hand]

obamacare is obesity-in-statute.

[SoFloFreeper]

Obesity is a choice.
Obamacare is a violation of the 10th amendment. (That is in the Constitution, by the way, “yahoo!”, the same document that gives you the freedom to publish this pile of crap)

Obamacare is the danger, not obesity.

You can't make people be skinny, but this country does have a problem. I've been going to my kid's soccer practice and have been shocked. It is a pretty low intensity soccer league, but I swear some of these kids haven't ever run or kicked a ball. A couple of them are at least 30 lbs. overweight.

When I was a kid we had two or three of those is a school, now a good 20% of every class is that fat.

Uh Oh...the food stamp and welfare regulars better watch out..../s

[Bryanw92]

We need a gummint program that pays people to lose weight. </sarc>

[Vaquero]

Go on a diet or st*u

[Pox]

Not to worry. If the individual mandate is upheld, the government will have all the authority it needs to dictate what you can and cannot eat since %20 of all healthcare costs are due to obesity.

Unfortunately, this is not sarcasm, but a simple prediction of our near future if we allow our government to continue on its present course.

[Chode]

we pay a lot of them sit sit home on welfare and eat themselves into obesity, then we have pay for them to have expensive bariatric surgery to lose the weight... go figure

[MulberryDraw]

This kind of freedom is making the nation's health care system go bust.

Here's the jist of the article, It's freedom that is bankrupting our healthcare system.

[catnipman]

So, the anit-Obamacare “ranters” haven’t been ranting about obesity, hey? Ergo, ObamaCare (TM) must be good, right? Wonderful logic, me thinks.

Well, the “ranters” haven’t been ranting about sedentaryness, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, junk food and sugar consumption or drug abuse either, all of which are also major contributors to poor health and health care costs. I guess the lack of ranting about these problems are even reasons ObamaCare (TM) is a wonderful thing, right?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Obesity doesn’t tyrannically dictate every aspect of your very soul and being.

[PGalt]

Obamacare/Totalitariancare: an internal threat to “freedom” - the likes of which our country has never seen before. The fundamental transformation of our republic into an authoritarian dictatorship.

[Wuli]

“HealthDay News reported Friday on a Mayo Clinic employees/retirees study”

What is the data-evidence that results of the study were adjusted for the demographic differences between the obese Mayo Clinic employees and retirees versus the nation’s obese, or that the cost data of the Mayo Clinic health plan were adjusted for their differences with national costs in the general population?

To answer my own question - none, I imagine. Which makes the Mayo Clinc’s interpretation of what their study says about Obamacare suspect.

We cannot forget that the Mayo Clinic and its people were some of the first jumping on the Obamacase bandwagon.

[eXe]

You just watch and see how they hype up “Obesity” and use it as a mechanism to control what everyone eats, whether they are obese or not.

[mo]

The dangerous ones here are the Feds and ObamaCare

[LomanBill]

>>Obesity allows you to live the way you want

Hmmm. People “want” to live with an oxygen tube up their nose whilst wheezing along on a battery powered cart in the Ice Cream aisle?

Ok.

Obamacare sure doesn’t appear to be having a positive impact on (or at least a reduction in) certain members of the obesity of The One’s primary constituency:

“New Black Panther Party chief of staff Michelle Williams talks with 10 News reporter Melanie Michael.”

Maybe it’s all the “Free” pie?

[RetiredTexasVet]

ObamaCare will not fix obesity but will cost more not to fix it.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

obese people are more responsible for health care costs annually per person than normal weight people

Hey, how about we return to a model in which every adult is personally responsible for his or her own health care and health insurance? That way, obesity quickly reduces to a personal issue which is no one else's business. Problem solved.

[bgill]

These stories disgust me because they're based on horse hockey. I pay a hefty health care insurance premium every month yet it's been for-e-ver since I hauled my fat rear to the doctor. The last time they charged me $600 for basically nothing. I found out I could have bought the medicine they gave me at Walgreens for $1. Don't blame me for using up precious medical service. Instead the smokers and hypochondriacs should be thanking me for paying for them.

[editor-surveyor]

Obesity is nothing more than a word.

Leftists love to play with words; especially words that have no objective meaning.
