Are you overweight? Smoke? Drink more than 1 alcoholic beverage a day? Couch potatoe that gets no exercise? Over 65? Your life is going to change if this health care bill gets passed. THERE WILL BE A GOVERNMENT PANEL THAT WILL DECIDE IF YOU GET TREATMENT OR NOT. And if you do get treated, they'll decide what and how much before you go into the "not cost effective" catagory. And you can bet they will track individual risk factors and attempt to control the way you live.
Don't think this will happen? How is freedom lost? A bit at a time. When motorcycle helmet laws first came up back in the 70's, I told people if we let them do this to motorcycle riders, the next thing will be seatbelt laws and eventually what color toilet paper you can use. (I personally never ride without a helmet, or drive without my seatbelt, but IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENTS BUSINESS TO TELL ME I HAVE TO.)
So let's see, where are we today? Helmet laws, seatbelt laws, can't spank your own kid, can't say certain words or you'll be charged with a hate crime, can't get your own money from a bank deposit until the government has checked to see that you don't owe taxes, child support, fines, alimony, or anything else they can think of.
Traffic cameras, face recognition software, and on and on ad nauseum.
Have a great day in America, Land of the Free,
Dumb Farmer
