hmm ... newer RW talking point about HCR could conceivably disqualify the RWers from HC ...

I've been hearing one of the latest anti-HCR talking points ...

"I don't want the government paying for all these overweight people who eat at McDonald's 3 meals a day." and the like ...

In other words, if you're out of shape (poor and minority), you shouldn't get health care. Never mind that when you're poor, you have to stretch your budget ... which also means higher-carb foods such as pastas, which contribute to obesity.

But on that talking point, they're laying the trap to disqualify themselves from health care, quite possibly from even their favored "existing" health care coverage.

So, if their "talking point" is taken into consideration, and those who subsist on an unhealthy diet are disqualified from being covered, wouldn't insurers also take into account the lifestyle that these people might indulge? I can see somebody being denied coverage for a medical procedure because the insurance companies somehow end up with a picture of the "insured" eating a corndog, or a Snickers bar ... God help the person if the picture shows them indulging in a deep-fried frozen Twinkie ...

and since vegetarians/Vegans are deemed to be "loonies on the far left", that would probably mean that the disqualified would be a RWer.

How many pictures of your kid blowing out candles on his or her birthday cake would it take for an insurance company to decide that it was detrimental to the health of the child, and coverage be denied?

How about the damage to the (high-cholesterol) beef industry? Lots of RWers proudly proclaim themselves as "red-meat eating patriots" ...

I mean, lots of rw people are fat and eat unhealthy foods.

but then, I would have been attacked as being nasty/intolerant ...

. . . a pale, overweight, acne covered face, Cheetos stains on fingers and keyboards, bottles of diet coke, flaccid muscles, and a mullet . . .

I think anyone who scores over a raw score of 16 on the Cook-Medley Hostility Scale (or an equivalent score on the Buss-Durkee) should be denied coverage. That would pretty much exclude all the teabaggers.

health care services when they finally blow a gasket. And they are costing me money as a shareholder and thus, as their employer. I resent having to pay for extraordinary measures to repair the damage they've done by overindulging at the Palm steak house.

:rofl:

Uff da...
