Fat people and smokers...no healthcare for you, coming to U.S. after the U.K. does it...

[2aguy]

Yes....when the government runs healthcare the costs go up, the quality tanks, and then the rationing starts...and a nameless, faceless bureaucrat decides who lives and who dies....and who gets pain relief....

this is what the left wants here...........

Obese patients and smokers banned from routine surgery in 'most severe ever' rationing in the NHS

Hospital leaders in North Yorkshire said that patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above – as well as smokers – will be barred from most surgery for up to a year amid increasingly desperate measures to plug a funding black hole. The restrictions will apply to standard hip and knee operations.

The decision, described by the Royal College of Surgeons as the “most severe the modern NHS has ever seen”, led to warnings that other trusts will soon be forced to follow suit and rationing will become the norm if the current funding crisis continues.

Before obamacare......these procedures would be routine here in the states......not anymore......

LOL I saw one of the funniest exchanges ever yesterday, this really huge and obese woman told a man who was smoking a cigar that smoking kills, all the while eating an ice cream sundae. The guy looked at her and told her so does being fat.

Point to the cigar smoker

 

[Dekster]

You don't need to be fully sedated for knee surgery so there is really no reason to ban either groups from having those. Smokers already are penalized under the ACA to the tune of something like $1400 a year.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Obamacare is a complete and unmitigated disaster. Much like we told them it would be

Much like they intended it to be.

And those who don't drive a certain kind of car won't be covered if they are injured in an auto accident.

And those who don't eat exclusively from a list of government-approved nutrition items will not be covered for any illnesses the Office of Right-Eating will have designated as the 'fault' of such irresponsible subjects.

And anyone who doesn't live in government housing in approved areas will not be covered if they are injured in natural disasters.

And anyone who doesn't vote democrat...

how about this plan

Under this plan, normal educated people would receive health care at government expense just like what everyone receives in the counties with the highest quality health care systems. Christians and believers of other absurdities would automatically be placed on the Prayer Care Plan. This plan would not cost the government (or anyone else) anything at all. When believers got sick, they would pray for recovery. It's really that simple.This should be quite appealing to the large number of conservative Christians who oppose any step toward universal health care because it would save large sums of money. If they really believe in prayer, as they so often claim, then they would have nothing to worry about on the Prayer Care Plan. In fact, their health care should be better than that received by the rest of us!

 

[2aguy]

How about only those who could not afford health care went on government healthcare......they open up insurance across state lines and do whatever they can to have people pay for regular visits and low level healthcare....and then make catastrophic policies available...like life insurance.........

more competition for healthcare dollars would mean better quality, more innovation, and lower cost.....

What you asswipes want is bad healthcare for everyone with democrats making the decisions on who gets treated and who doesn't...

 

[tigerred59]

Damn, I gotta give up my cigs and my pork chops.....guess, I'll do what we did back in the day.....let you white mf's pay for my healthcare, are you ready to rubble, bitches??

You don't understand how religion works...do you...not surprising, as you are a left wing loon.....following a belief system that murdered 100 million innocent men, women and children all around the world....but you still believe in it because the "right" people just haven't been in charge.....

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I think we should roll out the $1000.00 econo heart surgery.

 

[idb]

They can still get their operations if they have insurance or pay for it themselves...just like in the US.
Capitalism is still allowed in the UK system.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Fat people are disgusting gluttons anyway

 

[Old Rocks]

Now if I own a Corvette, and have several speeding infractions, I am going to pay more for my auto insurance than the soccer Mom in the Dodge Caravan with a squeaky clean driving record. If you are a smoker, are obese, or both, you should be required to pay more. After all, you are taking a known risk, and that should be reflected in the rate you pay for insurance.

Fat people are tons of fun.
