HA-HA-HA-HA-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...

Joke's on you now; enemies of the state!

Fat people are running up the cost of health care.

Bt taxing and oppressing you, we can repeat our success with smokers and lower the cost of health care!

WASHINGTON — The US medical system spends around twice as much treating preventable health conditions caused by obesity than it does on cancer, Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday.
"We're spending just under 150 billion dollars a year on health conditions related to obesity," Sebelius told the first-ever national conference on obesity to be organized by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"We have a situation where health conditions related to obesity have nearly twice the cost-impact on the health system as all the cancers combined in this country."
...
Two-thirds of US adults and one in five children are overweight or obese, putting them at greater risk of chronic illness like heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes, according to reports released Monday at the three-day "Weight of the Nation" conference.
"If there were an epidemic in this country of children getting cancer at the rate they are presenting with diabetes, I think we would have people crying out for some sort of national solution," said Sebelius.
"But weight problems -- because they don't present themselves as dramatic problems till later in life -- we have been slow to act."
But Sebelius pledged that would change, as reducing rampant obesity in the United States was at the heart of President Barack Obama's plan to overhaul the healthcare system that leaves some 47 million Americans uninsured.
"President Obama and I are committed to delivering a healthcare system that provides all Americans with better quality and lower costs, and fighting obesity is at the heart of these goals," Sebelius told the conference.
"Keeping people healthy and reducing chronic disease will dramatically lower our costs... chronic diseases are not only responsible for 75 percent of the costs but also for about 70 percent of the deaths.
"Reducing obesity would be one of the biggest steps we could take towards this," she added.

I was referring to a betrayed obese American who slavishly voted for Obama only to be taxed by his President.

But Throb supports his big spending and unending war based on lies and deceptions as well as his socializing all those evil doctors who have been able to affect a cure for him at such great cost...

His meltdown as 70/30 was a classic.

So....if this week, obesity causes twice the cost of ALL other cancers COMBINED.....then that means smoking isn't the health dollar drain it was demonized to be a few months ago.

S'what I thought. They were always long on claims and short on data when it came to pointing out just exactly how it was that someone who died of lung cancer at 60 cost the taxpayers more than someone dying of general decline at 90.

But I don't believe this claim, either. I think they make stuff up as the go along. The FBI, for example, get massive health workups every year on the taxpayer's dime (prostate cancer screens, colonoscopy, EKG, PFT, hearing, eye)....and a lot of those ain't cheap.

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

Yes, big government says give us more power and we will reduce costs.




I sure as hell don't think they're anything like Jenny Craig at this point.

With a genetic link to obesity established, the fat can simply be aborted, and our health care system will be saved.

Ruth Bader-Meinhoff will be proud.

But then, the imperial federal government won't collect its protection money, and will go after some other group instead.

70/30

That's right, AJ.

70/30 came back as RobertEarle...
My name also starts with "Rob"...
Therefore, we must be the same person!

That's some logical brilliance there!

Bingo

*spit*

Select a group, isolate it, ridicule it, blame it, marginalize it, tax it, cow it, force it to join the collective to survive, identify the next group...

When the mob becomes to big to spread the loot, purge it.

It'll never be the same in Georgia without the flappin' man tits slappin' out their cadence on the jogging trials.

Fat platoons for all!
