You beat me to the punch.
Wonder whether it comes with a 50% off coupon for a stent?

That is just gross.
Nanny Bloomberg will get his panties in bunch about this...
So Mark please tell us what was scientifically WRONG about what Bloomberg wants to do? Instead of trashing him, you should as a health care professional be embracing him. He doing what doctors, not to mention not those of the profession refuse to not only talk the talk but walk the walk, are afraid to do. It's about time for not only does it impact people's health but everyone's pocket book. Why should I, someone who tries to follow a health lifestyle, pay for some idiot who weighs four hundred pounds and adds thousands of dollars in costs every year to our national health care costs. It's about time!
Bloomberg is a liberal, busy body pig. There, I saiid it... He should try minding his own business for starters.
If we could tax obesity, we would just like cigarettes.
Well for starters you've not addressed the question. Show me scientific studies that shows (or refutes) what Bloomberg is doing is wrong for health care. After all, we have charged the government, otherwise we wouldn't have a health commissioner nor Surgeon General, with addressing health care issues. And there is no health care issue bigger today than the problem of obesity. 60%, by some recently published studies, of Americans are obese. That's huge and if that was cancer, we'd have a war on obesity. And the most recent generation of Americans is the first one in decades where life expectancy has decreased.
In this day of talking about prevention--for we don't have a health but crisis care situation--what Bloomberg is doing is what should have been done all along. And what the medical profession hasn't done. The medical profession is happy with putting money in the hands of big pharma and dispensing pills instead of treating the issue. The current rate of health care costs is unsustainable and prevention is a large part of the solution.
If we could tax obesity, we would just like cigarettes.
