I always wonder which ad agency has prepared them (because I know darn well who is funding them). It saddens me to see naive liberals sucked into these thought processes.

4 pages listing all the meds you take for a work physical? Getting SCREAMED at because I take None of the Above. Watching a 19 year old young woman CRY filling about that same meds list. WHY isn't she taking ANY meds???? Vacs? I HAD all those diseases as a child. No, dear doctor, I have NOT been vaccinated against a disease I had as child, have natural immunity, and survived 65 years.

Eligible for Medicare. Chock full of mail about all these PLANS. Even getting phone calls from SS telling me that I am eligible for government help for Part D scrips. WHAT scrips? You want to pay for my half dozen TYLENOL in a year? ROLF.

You want this stuff? Fine. Leave ME alone.

My premiums go down if I fill it out and assert that I am tobacco-free. Well, I don't smoke, by my mother does and I when I visit, I probably acquire enough second-hand smoke to increase my risk factors a bit.

In any case, I simply lied on the self-assessment because they send constant emails and letters reminding you to get a physical or join a health club or what have you, if your numbers aren't in the "good" range. Which kind of seem like it defeats the purpose. But I'm tired of health busybodies telling me to eat this, don't eat that, exercise more, exercise LESS or differently. The information is plentiful but often contradictory and not based on science.
