Uh oh

If you pay someone's bills, you have a say in how they incur expenses. Right?

That's one of the several reasons why national health care is wrong. If the taxpayers pay for your doctor bills, then the taxpayers --in the persons of lobbyists, advocates and bureaucrats-- will be deciding how you live.
The vulgar phrase "I own your ass" will become literally true.

Shall "we" penalize smokers and the obese --modern sinners and heretics against the progressive religion of Health & Safety-- for the drain they cause on "our" system? Shall we indeed regulate their behavior in order to prevent the expense they will cause "us?"

Sounds only fair, right?

But, oops.

Guess who the fattest people in America are?

Blacks. Followed up by Latinos. The CDC is anxious to "reduce racial and ethnic disparities in obesity rates." (Simple: fatten up the Whites and Asians!)

And guess who smokes the most?

Indians. (The tomahawk kind, like Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Warren,  not the dot-on-the-forehead kind.)

So.....whadda we do now? Controlling and penalizing sacred and special POCs...das raciss.

I love this shit.

UPDATE: Nanny Mayor of NY, Ms Bloomberg, is being sued by Blacks and Latinos because his attack on sugary drinks "disproportionately affects minorities of color." Bwahahahahahahah.

Not with a bang, but with whimpering, all the way.
