I wonder why the ACLU hasn't jumped on this big brother intrusion into our lives. Imagine the government going totally off to the left, completely socialist, even pink maybe. The government will have a list of everyone who isn't healthy. Remember the long march in the movie Soylent Green. Only those affluent people who can afford private health care wouldn't have thier lives intruded upon. Put on too much weight and the health care Nazi comes out from behind the counter yelling, "no health care for you, no see doctor, go away".
