The death panel is starting to sound like a good idea. Especially if they can include the obese (not me though, I'm just big boned).

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

they are going to need to order doctors and insurance companies to provide free counseling to the Obamarons for their imminent suicidal depression, after the realization finally sets in for these people who have been duped, first by the New Deal, Great Society, Al Gore/Global Warming...and then Barry Obama/Hope and Change...and the realization that all of the goodies the dems have been selling them in return for votes all of these years was a ponzi scheme crock and all that they've come to rely on is bankrupt and can no longer sustain them ..these poor demented souls are going to need a lot of therapy....

RIJimmy - covering preventive will have a positive ROI after the first year by catching and allowing us to nip major cost illnesses in the bud.

Ok Mr. MBA and your catchy "business lingo"

Your investment has a payback of NEVER

The NPV on this SCANDAL is NEGATIVE

Here's your ROI

Scum s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g leeches / Hard earned TAXPAYER DOLLARS = SOCIALISM

What don't you get?

C'MON....coming from you??? one of the least informed people here ...that means absolutely nothing...beyond the admission that you are infact...an "Obamoron" you can't stand the fact that I force you to look at the truth...

"covering preventative"??? you mean, the Obama government forcing private companies, insurance companies, employers...whoever...and ultimately the people paying taxes to "cover preventative" with no co-pay charged... the next thing you need to do is to force/mandate that the people actually to go and get their "free preventative somebody else paid preventative care" on a regular basis or be fined for this to be truly effective...there is really no end to what they can impose and force on the public now...thanks Obamorons

gotta give you guys credit for persistence, you cling desperately to an insane and demonstrably failing and failed ideaology...but you have the little talking points well rehearsed and continue to mock and ridicule those that point out that with facts you are infact socialists and worse (a little honesty would be nice if you are going to continue to bark like a socialist) ...I think that's Rules for Radicals #5 or so...

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage

Why who do I insult here? Anyone who knows me, says I'm low key and even tempered. It seems like your always insulting people. I'm just glad I was raised never to have the hate you (and a couple others) seem to exhibit every day.

I'm one of the least informed why b/c I don't cut and paste all day like you

I just shake my head when I see many of your posts.

for the record, you often take a condescending and insulting tone. And unfortunately live up to the liberal stereotype.
Other libs out here at least try to have a dialog.

There's plenty of much more intimate data already in your medical records.

In hopes of derailing the schoolyard battle...

This is ridiculous and scientifically inaccurate.

I went to the CDC website (Healthy Weight: Assessing Your Weight: Body Mass Index (BMI) | DNPAO | CDC) and used their height/weight method of calculating BMI and it came out to 22, which puts me in the middle of Normal with regards to body fat. The problem with this height/weight method is that body type and fitness level are not included.

Every month or so I have my body composition checked at my gym. They have a machine that uses electrodes on the foot and wrist to measure % body fat, % water, % muscle and other. The last time I got checked, I was at 4% body fat - I believe the range for Normal is 19-24.

Now, we all know where this is going. Doctor's will have to include BMI (which can already be calculated based on the height/weight measurements they take) and insurance companies will start using that number to adjust policy rates. If I succeed in my goal of putting on 15 more pounds of muscle, it will place me on the line of Normal and Overweight with regards to body fat even though I'll still be around 4-5%.

One other example, I looked up Tom Brady's height/weight - 6'4" 225lbs. The standard BMI calculator say his BMI is 27.4, dead center of the Overweight category. Anyone think that's accurate.

At the same time, don't some of you guys try to use the above as an excuse. If you can't see your own toes, the numbers are probably correct.
