Like the spook movie where the kids call for the devil to do their bidding. Now the devil comes back and wants his cut. We asked for help and now the govt is asking that we do this, that or the other to lower the risk. Seem familiar?

Should have NEVER asked the govt for help.
yeah, not a big fan of the govt getting into everything, but some things.

as i recall, medicare was developed for retired folks who cannot work because they've reached retirement age. but i dont see the same reasoning holding true here in this obese people banning law as (just guessing here) most of the people are not going to be retired, obese people.

on the medicare/SSI issue, i think every country should have such a system to help out people who have paid into it with their taxes.
