"Free" health care

This is from home in Anderson, TX. Just got in this evening.
The other day, I was listening to the radio, the news, as usual. There was a piece on the "free" health care system in Japan. Turns out, the the government is looking at extreme costs. Imagine that! Well, the upshot of the deal is, the government has decided obesity is a leading cause of increased health care costs.
Here is the gist of the situation: If you are a male, you are allowed to have a waist line of up to 33.5 inches. If you are a woman, you get 35.5 inches. All those over 40 years of age will comply to these specifications. Failing to do so within the 4 month grace period will result in mandatory enrollment in a re-education program. If that fails, you will be incarcerated and physically reduced in weight and size.
To those of you that think that "universal health care" or "government health care" is a good idea, please take note. When you take the man's money, you will take the man's orders.
If you are out of specification, or have genetic problems you will pay more, and will be penalized. You will be forced to do as you are told and will be re-educated. If you fail, you will wind up either incarcerated or dead. That is the way of bureaucracies.
There ain't nothing free. Folks that don't know you do not have your best interests at heart. It is about power and control. Period.
Before you vote, take time to think, not feel. Be logical and use what you know of human nature.


Remember, if government is the answer, it is a stupid question.
