Bloomberg’s nannyism: It’s come to this

[Sallow]

All women are going to be forced to breastfeed. It might make sense to say that women on the dole should be forced to breastfeed so the hospital won't spend money on formula, but it's all women.

Are going to?

When?

You got a date for this new law?

 

[konradv]

I'm forced to pay taxes while 50% of you freeloaders don't. Fucking HYPOCRITE>

What's the difference between one group of freeloaders and another?

Your group is still freeloading. The group that could afford health insurance is now forced to buy it. Now when will we force 100% of the fucking freeloaders to pay their fucking taxes?

My group? I've always had health insurance. You're the one shilling for freeloaders.

 

[Moonglow]

Many hospitals and clincs in our area will no longer prescribe or dispense narcotic bases pain killers.

 

[Katzndogz]

They need a "medical reason" to use a bottle? How about "none of your fucking business"? I would ask them to write that down on my chart.

How did this clown get re-elected?

Clearly you should be allowed to feed your newborn anything you like. In Mexico Coca-cola is a favorite.


Don't wanna play by hospital rules get a fucking midwife.

Not that bright huh? We had to use bottles because my wife had trouble with the kids latching on. We where worried they where not getting enough food when she tried.

Bloomberg can go fuck himself.

It isn't hospital rules, it's Bloomberg rules. He knows best what women should do with their tits.

I did not breastfeed, by choice, and if someone tried for force me, I would have certainly fought back, emphasis on the fought. I can't believe that the government is taking away this very basic and personal decision. Evidently women who don't want to breastfeed will receive counseling (brainwashing) to MAKE them change their minds.

 

[Katzndogz]

How close are we to putting women who won't breastfeed in prison?

How about women who do breastfeed but don't eat right, drink, take drugs and pass on whatever they took in their bodily fluids to their infants? What about women who simply won't take their vitamins?

 

[WillowTree]

Well sure, but why get pissed at them?

As far as I see it, when our leaders create a fucked up game for us to play - we'd be fools to play to lose. If the rules suck, we should definitely change them. But spitting and sneering at people who are, usually, on the shitty end of things already is just small. And doesn't do squat to solve the problem.

I get pissed at them because they broke the rules and got 20 high dollar phones at my expense. They are parasites who game the system.

Relax, I qualify for one of those free phones not because of income, but because of foster children.

No I am not getting the phone for the teenager. They will have to make do with the land line. If a fight occurs over phone time then I install a pay phone.

Yes I am that guy...........

Hey! I didn't complain about ONE phone. I understand ONE phone. I'm talking about the assholes who game the system and get more than ONE phone.

 

[Plasmaball]

He's helping out the people by saving their money. Corporations try to sell us formula, when the real formula is free.

lol there are many reasons to have formula on hand. But now big government will tell you how....

Then you support such action.

Do any of you ass wipes understand what liberty is?

Of course people are free to do what they want. This is about commercial interests telling us that formula is the standard, instead of the unfortunately necessary back-up that it should be, costing us all more in the long run.

No its really about choice and what's best for the baby and mother. Its a stupid unneeded move.

 

[Plasmaball]

Because the government has the power to install traffic signals to regulate traffic on public streets, it also means that the government has the power to regulate what women do with their tits. Oh yes, makes perfect sense. Let's ban abortion and see how that works out.

No one is regulating what women do with their tits.

You guys and your conflation are funnah.

Well no bloomberg sort of is here. He is saying a woman should use her tits more and we are going to make it harder for you too choose.

If a woman chooses to not breast feed that is her right. You guys are looking mighty hypocritical here.

 

[Plasmaball]

Many hospitals and clincs in our area will no longer prescribe or dispense narcotic bases pain killers.

Which is smart because if said woman is breastfeeding it can transfer over to the child.

The nanny state is going after moms.

Mayor Bloomberg is pushing hospitals to hide their baby formula behind locked doors so more new mothers will breast-feed.

Starting Sept. 3, the city will keep tabs on the number of bottles that participating hospitals stock and use — the most restrictive pro-breast-milk program in the nation.

Under the city Health Department’s voluntary Latch On NYC initiative, 27 of the city’s 40 hospitals have also agreed to give up swag bags sporting formula-company logos, toss out formula-branded tchotchkes like lanyards and mugs, and document a medical reason for every bottle that a newborn receives.

They need a "medical reason" to use a bottle? How about "none of your fucking business"? I would ask them to write that down on my chart.

How did this clown get re-elected?

Hey--I got a medical reason

It is "hunger"!!

Yes, the state of "hunger" is a medical condition. It is treated with "food".

A person can die from an extended periods of hunger.

Thank you thank you thank you. And did using formula make your wife less than a wonderful mother?

Of course not. Of course it didn't. I've been trying to explain in the thread that sometimes no matter how much one would love to, breastfeeding didn't work out as planned.

This new endeavor by Bloomberg by mandating formula bottles being given out as "prescriptions" just demeans the new mother as a failure.

This is really sickening. It hurts the heart. It's just plain wrong.

 

[Plasmaball]

Why the fuck are hospitals handing out corporate sponsored "swag bags" in the first place?

Because they can? Who gives a shit? I personally like my slingbags from gerber.we didn't use the formula,but the wipes and changing pad is handy.

I wasnt getting on you, just pointing out that my families eligibility will not be utilized.

I am not a democrat

 

[paulitician]

Socialists/Progressives fear & loathe Freedom & Liberty. It stands in the way of them forcing their agendas on the People. Bloomberg is a Nazi asshole. Period, end of story.

Bloomberg IS out of control. So imagine my surprise when he came out in support of Chick-fil-A being able to able to acquire a business license and opening any place they want, without government interfering with that process.

But, will the mayor try to control what Chick-fil-a, serves on its menu?

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Its VOLUNTARY for a hospital to participate in this program you fucking moron. My lord you and your ilk are so incredible moronic, its so very very sad.

Wow.. try to follow along. The government is using our tax money to promote an agenda. That is NOT voluntary. I don't want a government that spends its time and our resources trying to tell us how to live, do you?

You live in New York City?

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Yes. I do.

Your turn. What do you see as the job of government? Is it to tell us how to live?

The job of the NYC government is to do whatever it is the People of NYC decide it should do, within the constraints of the U.S. Constitution, the New York Constitution, and federal and state law.

Fix the fucking potholes! Stop mandating what other people do in their lives.

This law doesn't mandate anything.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Well, thank you for answering clearly. This is definitely where we disagree. Government is created to protect our rights, not impose our will on others.

No one is imposing anyone's will on others with this law. I thought you said you knew what the word VOLUNTARY meant. I guess you don't.

I reject your conception of the purpose of government.

So you don't think the People of New York have a right to self govern - you should get to decide which laws they have and can't have. That's your conception of government and its fucked.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

how voluntary is it if use of formula has to be medically documented? For his next act, bloomberg will ban the sale of formula.

Bloomberg is insane, he's as crazy as jim holmes. Is someone putting lead in his water. Doesn't think kind of shoot down "my body my choice" as he wants the government to take the decision of whether or not to breastfeed away from women?

it only has to be documented by hospitals that participate in this voluntary program. Please stop being such a retard, you're giving the mentally challenged a bad name!

And if the mother happens to be unlucky enough to have had her baby in a hospital participating in this voluntary program she's just stuck isn't she. Hopefully her doctor will voluntarily write a prescription.

The program doesn't require they write a prescription you imbecile. It requires they document that formula was provided. Most hospitals already do that. And its VOLUNTARY. If you don't want to use a hospital in the program, you're free to use one that isn't. Lord you're dumb.

Yes, the state of "hunger" is a medical condition. It is treated with "food".

A person can die from an extended periods of hunger.

Then food, all food, should be regulated as medicine because it is used to treat a medical condition.

This makes as much sense as water being a medicine because it is used to treat dehydration. Of course, once the UN got involved, water can no longer be used to treat dehydration. In fact, water can be completely withheld because it is not at all necessary for living things.
