One of the best things we can do to help healthcare costs is getting America back to work. When people dont have jobs, higher chance they don't have insurance. Other people end up picking up their tab. We've been presided over by a job killing president for 6 years. Yet, he, and you guys just want to blame fat people. That's convenient, isn't it?

Whoever said that cancer is tied to obesity doesn't know what they are talking about. lol Cancer is cells that start dividing out of control, they lose what is called contact inhibition. Nothing to do with weight. It is result of a genetic mutation.
So you have no idea how to fix it, however you know the industry well enough to diagnose the exact problem.

It's worked great for states who accept the expansion.
The deficit has shrunk again, and jobs are up. Congress continues to block every jobs bill presented by Obama.

Yeah, I don't know anything about pushing down healthcare costs. I am a mechanical engineer. I do know obamacare does not even try. In your mind, Obama is a healthcare expert .

The debt is 16 trillion dollars, a record. Obama added more to the debt than all presidents before him, combined.

He had 1.3 triilion dollar deficits 5 of his six years. Prior to him, no president was ever over 0.5 billion.

Record number of unempcloyed and people living in poverty

You sure act like you know. The ACA has brought down people's costs, and it's a set of laws, not a tax. Mitt Romney must be an expert too because his version of it works and conservatives like it in MA.

What?
The deficit is $483b currently, and it was only 1.3t when he took office.
Bush hit $1.4t.

That is not what I said. I said it does not correlate to most health problems, and you can get heart disease , Sleep apnea, diabetes without being obese.

You keep flogging those strawmen though. That is what your party does.

But the premise Democrats like to push is that conservatives are low income hicks and Democrats are oh so educated.

Here is the person who I responded to in one of my original posts, anniehimself: However, liberals are generally are more fit and it's proven that democrats are around the board more educated than republicans.

That is an obvious political statement and it proved my theory that reason you always hear about how fat people in the South are is Democrats trying to associate conservatives with a negative because they don't like our politics. Just like they try to associate us with lower income and lower education when a much larger percentage of Democrat voters has little education and lower income. Generaly obesity is associated with poor people, and in MS and any state, the bulk of the poor people are Democrats. I don't think the same people complaining about racist, dumb conservatives or Christians are talking about Democrat votes in MS when they bring up obesity. In their mind, MS is a red state, and any talk about obesity means Republican voters.

You would never hear about obesity in MS if it was a blue state. MS isn't much different from rural blue states like Vermont and Maine, and not logical to believe that significant difference in how much people eat and exercise b/t two states that similar. Yet you never here about obesity in these states. That is because the talking point about MS and other red stats is political.

You should head over, b/c your post was political.

Here was the apex of your negative politics, a baseless smear about Christians: 6. Backwards racist christian

That is cool if you want to ape Bill Maher but you should probalby do that on politics forum. Your entire post was basically you asserting that you are smarter than everyone in MS.

You don't come across as a real happy person. Don't think you can blame state of MS for that.

Because I continue to prove everything you say to be completely wrong and sometimes flat out lies. I don't blame you.

I don't lie. Ok to say that I'm wrong but I don't lie. As an example, I would never tell people over and over that they could keep their doctor and plan if they liked their doctor and plan despite knowning many of them would lose their doctor and plan. I wouldn't tell them most families would see their deductibles go down if that wasn't going to happen.
