And no regrets?

Is there a Lawyer or twenty who are interested in the ultimate in early retirement plans, in the house?

All the smokers who don’t go crazy and shoot themselves will quit smoking. Billions in healthcare costs saved!

If you buy into the plan, you give up your own rights to self autonomy and declare yourself too immature to make decisions on your own,in the governance of your own body. Leaving those rightful choices for your betters to dictate. Basking in the ultimate bubble wrapped protections of “the precautionary principle”, while a paternalist government dutifully protects the helpless children of all ages. Irrespective of the fact that saw the current aging population, already surpass the most healthy and long living generation that ever walked this planet.

In the end your servants become your over paid masters. If you extend the lives of the elderly among an aging population, negating their right to ever retire, in hopes that they can produce more earned wages and consequently more income taxes. Cost savings is a myth. If you suceede in reducingh one death this year it will re-emerge next year because there is no escaping the inevitable.

The many hateful slams against the elderly and the innocent by wide brush in this forum, are more than obviously the paid stooges of whom ever is paying to promote this latest stoke of insanity. Because people are naturally protective of each other, unless we are to believe that so many sociopaths came here to play at the same moment.

The proposal is one of pure hatred and well deserving attachment to the Nazi mindset that inspired it.

Try to remember the names at election time, get off the couch and vote, before this kind of worthless scum and his paid stooges, actually find a route to legitimate power, over you and yours.

Second this coming from the govenor (lower case on purpose) who did not want a pill registry because he did not want “big brother” watching. So the citizens can find all the prescription drugs to take but food intake will be looked at.

This adminstration is tooo funny.

Make this thief a one term govenor.

“that doesn’t place price controls”

doesn’t sound like a lot will change

Negron is saying that citizens bad health is costing us money. That we can reduce our deficit by forcing citizens to do certain things. That’s Obama logic. Negron just endorsed him.

Negron is saying, “We are paying for those on medicaid. They should be responsible”. How is that any different than Obama wanting to force us all to have insurance so we can “be responsible” and pay a penalty if not so others don’t “pick up our tab”? It’s the same absurd line of logic.

You don’t fix government errors by dumb laws like this. You fix it by never allowing things like socialized healthcare/social security to ever happen.

Negron and Obama BOTH need to stay OUT OF MY LIFE!!!!!

If so,the hippocracy is there for everyone to see.

This nation pays 700 Billion dollars in “invisible foreign aid” by being the only large major industrialized nation on earth that place price controls on big Pharma or the Medical device makers.

It’s like everyone else in your condo making deals on their maintenance with the condo board except you leaving you as the only one who gets the “assessment”.

Yeah, I get the part about taxpayers picking up the tab. The solution however is to abolish medicaid altogether. Let these people find a way to be responsible for their own health.

It’s scary when we start penalizing people for lifestyle choices. Keep liberty and government separate. Don’t provide social services nor try and engineer society….

If someone is “morbidly obese”, smokes to acess then they also have other health problems. Sounds as if the action proposed by this guy are too little, too late.

I can understand his point because he’s attempting to force people do do something that is “good” for them. Other posters say this govt. does not have the right to force good health onto someone. Perhaps they are correct, but on the other hand why should the public pay for a lifetime of poor choises. There must be, or let’s say, I hope there is some type of middle ground.
