We are constantly hearing about how obese everyone is and how expensive healthcare is because of that obesity. So if the Feds are giving out those (in the words of Kagan) "boatloads" of money for the proletariat to receive subsidized insurance, it is not a very big step to... "Since we are paying for it, you need to be healthier". I mean it isn't like the Feds and certain blue states aren't already banning transfats and pushing companies to reduce salt in their foods or dictating acceptable brown bag lunches at schools. <br /><br />Nope - Scalia was spot on with the broccoli.neomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830635556787370135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-21394729949477395672012-04-01T15:48:11.378-05:002012-04-01T15:48:11.378-05:00Touche!Touche!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-78701107650473230632012-04-01T15:31:28.401-05:002012-04-01T15:31:28.401-05:00We thought the same thing when reading Scalia'...We thought the same thing when reading Scalia's comments about forcing people to buy broccoli under Obamacare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
