Just wait till the 'per pound' overweight ACA premium is hiked on you. And then the blood pressure premium hikes for every digit you are above the 'accepted' normal.

Next, your card will be declined at the drive thru for a burger, fries and a shake because the government has all your info and these foods will be deemed caloric restrictions due to your 'condition'.

Don't think it won't happen?

There ARE death panels. From Howard Dean....far left wack-job....“The IPAB will be able to stop certain treatments its members do not favor by simply setting rates to levels where no doctor or hospital will perform them,” Dean wrote in The Wall Street Journal.
“Getting rid of the IPAB is something Democrats and Republicans ought to agree on.”

The IPAB is designed to kick in when Medicare cost growth grows above a specified rate. It is charged with making recommendations on how to reduce Medicare spending, and its proposals are required to be fast-tracked through Congress.

It is socialism.

so·cial·ism (ssh-lzm)
n.
1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.

NEXT!

We all are going to die, but listening to cons cry about death panels to stop better healthcare was just sad. A little laughable but mostly sad.

Must I repost this?

ObamaCare’s cost-cutting board — memorably called a “death panel” by Sarah Palin — is facing growing opposition from Democrats who say it will harm people on Medicare.
Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean drew attention to the board designed to limit Medicare cost growth when he called for its repeal in an op-ed late last month.

I'm confused by what some people think "obamacare" is besides the same kind of insurance system we have now? You talk like it's the boogieman.
