ah!! I've got it!! The Americans are invading and taking over their jobs. Companies get penalized for every average waistline inch they are over the requirements, so it encourages Japanese firms to not hire Americans!! This is their version of the 10 foot fence at the border!

If you people don't get the fascists out this November, stand by. Pelosi already tried to push through a bill that would put you in JAIL for not having health care payment insurance. In the UK they sometimes turn people down for health care b/c they are fat, smoke, or are old. Rationing happens when the .gov is in charge of paying for your health care, and fat people are an easy target.

They won't refuse healthcare in the UK, they just delay or limit the options, for good reason, if you have lung cancer, and smoke 50 fags a day, you won't get a new lung as you'd only mess that one up too (and they may have 1 lung, 2 people need it-the other being a genuine case). They will give you free stop smoking help, patchs, group meets etc, once you've quit, then you get the lung. Same as liver, no point giving a liver to an alcoholic.

As for the Japs, they keep trying to be taken seriously at rugby, they have a big passion for playing it, only problem is they just aren't big enough. They have some realy good backs (little guys who run, think wide reciever in gridiron for example), but no forwards (the worlds top teams have playe5rs over 110kg, even some 120kg) to do the work, and without the big blokes, theres no ball for the little guys to run with. Making them smaller will just make it even harder for them, 1-because they'll struggle even more for forwards, 2- because the big Aussie and Kiwi's they draft in and give passports to to cover this problem will be illegally big.

How about, let's have a free society and let an alcoholic BUY himself a fresh liver? No? Too much liberty for the Statists?

this is what happens when the government gets into health care, once they realize it's not a sustainable system they have to go to these tactics to make up the extra bucks.
