You could add smokers, people who drink to much, and obesity to this list as well

Also another interesting stat is the cost of folks not showing up for scheduled medical appointments. It's in the hundreds of millions per year.
Sometimes we like to crap all over the health care system yet many times we only have ourselves to blame.

By the way I am a diabetic and could not agree more regarding being responsible for one's health.

I still chuckle remembering Obama saying that people need to live healthier and eat correctly. This was right before he took his press corp entourage to Five Guys Burgers and Fries Do as I say and not as I do. I believe he had a smoke after lunch


Let's see if I have this straight.

Obama's health care plan will be

written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it,
passed by a Congress that hasn't read it,
signed by a president who smokes,
funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes,
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and
financed by a country that is broke.


What could possibly go wrong?

Almost right except the bill was not written by any committe or politican in fact it was written by the "Apollo Allience". But very few know this as the media doesent bother to mention it.

But hey ... thats a diversion from the topic at hand.

I can fully understand the primary care doctors frustration as whenever I need to visit them I am stunned at the general state of health of the pepole in the waiting room.

Mr. DINGELL (for himself, Mr. RANGEL, Mr. WAXMAN, Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California, Mr. STARK, Mr. PALLONE, and Mr. ANDREWS) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, Education and Labor, Oversight and Government Reform, and the Budget, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned"

I do not see it as a diversion at all. It is part of the ever growing problem and it will get worse.

They 'introduced' the bill, they dident write it. These bozo's are not capable of writing a thousand plus page bill let alone read it.

The link was just the PDF of the bill. Of course they could not write it or read it. With that in mind what makes Congress capable of anything at this point?

Fully capable of expanding their own power and the nations addiction to dependency. In fact there doing quite well at that.
