Looking at the statistics that the CDC uses to support its contention that Americans are becoming fatter and fatter every year, you will see that those statistics are based on the BMI - which is 200 years old and which, in any event, doesn't measure how fat one is.
You’re right on target. This “crisis” is no different than immunizations, or smoking, or the government created Swine Flu “pandemic”, etc. It doesn’t just allow the government to force their definition of health care upon the American people. It also gives them authority to usurp parents rights if the government deems our children to be unhealthy, and parents as neglectful.

Fat! Its the New Smoking!

As the Most Powerful Community Organizer in the world pushes through his vision for your future healthcare, his minions are hard at work. Myriad press outlets are blaming fat folks for the rise in healthcare costs. In Obamaland, fat is the new smoking! How and what you eat is the next evil behavior to be controlled by law!

Here is the reason: in the future if you do not conform to the health polices standards you will be denied access to healthcare. You smokers and drinkers, you fatties and stoners, you are a drag on the system. Your behavior is making you cost too much so go to the end of the government rationing line and hope we get to you. You oldsters and people with chronic conditions take a pain pill. You are a bad risk for successful treatment. In fact, why dont you do us all a favor and take the whole bottle of pills and check out!
All you kids born in less than perfect health, best of luck! President Obama has already given his opinion on this when he was back in Illinois! All you gay folks with incurable illnesses, those drug cocktails that are keeping you alive are tres expensive! All you folks who are past 60 or 70, your healthcare plan for transplants and serious surgery is to pray you dont get sick. You see, the best way to control healthcare costs is to give healthcare to as few people as possible! If the government can find some reason to exclude you, it will. Do you think it was hard to deal with your HMO? Try arguing with some government functionary for your kidney transplant. Want a preview? Try to get a little extra service from the post office civil servant behind the counter.
Remember way back in September and October when the Candidate Obama was promising you the same healthcare that Senators and Congressman get? I have yet to hear any of them say, I cant wait to get on Obamedicade!
