    Guh. This brings out the worst in me.



    ...ideas like some kind of mandatory boot camp when you're that bad.



    If you're 350-400lbs and using your scooter to buy fast food, you're in serious need of some lifestyle adjustment.



    In the end, it's probably cheaper for society to foot the bill to help someone like that get their sh~t together than to pay for the long-term costs of their obesity.



    Problem is...lines of thought like that really don't go over too well in implementation.

    @Mad_Science: I have this crazy idea that society neither foot the bill for "treatment" OR long-term costs of their obesity. It's a revolutionary new concept called "personal responsibility."



    Long ago, in a simpler time, Americans knew what that meant.

    @therealmusashi:Yes, I obviously believe Fatty McWheels should take matters into her own pudgy hands. Unfortunately, it's obvious she's not willing or capable of doing so, so now what?



    I'm a pragmatist.



    The law requires no one be refused for emergency care.



    Frequently, the poor and unhealthy wait until treatable conditions (I'm thinking diabetic ulcers) become emergency issues.



    Unless you want to change emergency care laws to allow people to die in the waiting rooms because they can't afford care, we, collectively, are going to pay that bill.



    Even without universal coverage, the losses on the uninsured are currently paid by the Fed and built into the fees the rest of us pay to medical providers.



    Emergency care is almost always more expensive than prevention. So, if I'm going to get stuck paying part of someone else's bill, I'd rather pay the smaller one.

    Let's see here, we've got a Burger King and a "Dairy Queen" on her Hoveround. We've also got, in picture 1, a Dollar General and a last-gen Chevy Malibu with dubs in #5.



    Gentlemen, what we have here is America at it's finest.

    @Pete Gaines wuz here: The car in #6 has an Indiana plate, so I'm guessing that's where this happened. And, based on my own experiences in there, it makes perfect sense.
