row_33 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If they did that, the government would declare any adult over 50 pounds to be obese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If they did that, the government would declare any adult over 50 pounds to be obese. Let's see.............so the Government would have some sort of "panel" to decide who gets what care. Hmmmmmmmm........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Let's see.............so the Government would have some sort of "panel" to decide who gets what care. Hmmmmmmmm........ Up here we put in a soak-the-rich tax on health care, another slice out of the rich folks plenty, people were whooping it up, it kicks in at $45,000 gross income. You are officially rich if you make $45,000 a year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Where have we heard that before? Hmmmmmm..... every time a decision has to be made regarding $$$ for health? Right in the midst of every hospital dozens of times every day? I'm sure you have some stupid anecdote that you'll chuckle to yourself over.

Koko78 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Is that like $750 U.S. dollars? Don't be insulting. It's about $1,241.95 in US funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Sucks for body builders if they're using the BMI standard. all NFL running backs and NBA power forwards, the most chiseled men on earth are morbidly obese by the BMI they have put out a second BMI for people who aren't normal body size, it reduces obese to overweight mostly but is still a joke tilted towards insurance standards at 6'6" i should be 170 pounds.... yeah whatever.....

row_33 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 That's right! Weight lifters in general are "measured" to be obese. Vasily Alexeev didn't look to be in the best form during his prime. Again... a power forward in the NBA and running back in the NFL are completely chiseled and considered obese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
