Some...TWAT has recently come out and said - with a straight face it must be said - that fatties should be allowed to claim their obesity on Medicare. (Medicare is the public health system - funded by the taxpayer).
I've no idea who the twat is, and could care even less, frankly, other than to display my derision towards him/her. But once again we see shocking discrimination. Fat bastards, who cost billions to health systems the world over, are being treated with kid gloves. "Aww, the poor fatties - it's not their fault - they have an illness, they can't help it; we must help them".
Well I'll tell ye what - first let's help them GET THEIR FAT ARSES OFF THE SOFA AND AWAY FROM BUNS AND CAKES. Like a buddy of mine said a while ago when some fat chick claimed it, "was water retention" that caused her obesity.
"Water retention, eh? More like cake retention". Hahahahaha!!!
But seriously though; once again, a disease (of the mind - and voluntarily in my opinion) is being treated with sympathy while the poor, much maligned smoker (who in fact costs LESS by comparison) still has to put up with vilification and those deeply fuckin offensive images splattered all over the packets.
This is the definition of discrimination. I'm going to find me a sharp American lawyer (because this type of lawyer only exists in the good ole US) and sue the fuck out of the government.
I've had enough. And I'll say one more time - how can one facet of society be forced to endure such oppressive criticism, yet the other, which now surpasses the former in terms of costs - not to mention needing TWO seats on public transport (trains, buses, planes etc), doesn't?
Anyone? Can anyone at all out there explain this to me? (A rhetorical question of course because there simply is no explanation for discrimination).
Y'fat tubs of lard.

You have my support - you know what I think about this discrimination!

Can smokers claim on Medicare for smoke related complaints?
Not only that, Jayney, a recent report claims that 60% of people presenting to their doctor are "overweight or obese" and a quarter drink to dangerous levels.
So adding these two complaints together and you have a staggering figure which far outweighs the cost of smoking related costs (costs, which it must be said are covered in the main by the extortionate taxing of such a product).
KB:
Currently all medical issues are claimable on Medicare but the fattie supporters are suggesting that diet providers such as Weightwatchers etc. should be covered as well. And that equivalent would be Nicobate and other such products.
Of course they are not though.
