Prove it.

Prove what, you ask?   Prove that it's at least theoretically possible, that's what.

OK, enough obfuscation.  Here'e what I'm talking about. 

It seems pretty clear that Mr. Moore is enamoured of the idea of a government-run, tax-payer funded, socialized medicine health-care system.  Which of course means that WE, as tax-payers, will be picking up the tab.  Which means that WE, as tax-payers, will have a direct stake in managing the costs of providing that care.  Which means that WE, as tax-payers, have an unquestionable interest in the behavior of those who receive the services.

Now, we all know that Mr. Moore is a bit on the large size.  He's not quite what Gabriel Iglesias would call "fluffy'< but he's "big boned."  And we all know that this increases all sorts of medical risks, which will then increase all sorts of medical COSTS.  And we've been told for years that the best preventative is to lose weight.

So, here's my suggestion for Michael Moore.  If you want us to consider taking up the burden of YOUR medical coverage, then why don't you - and every other clown out there agitating for the gu'mint to take over health care - get your capacious butt down to a normal weight AND KEEP IT THERE for a year or two?  Then come back and talk to us.

Oh, and before anyone makes the obvious point that *I* am a lard-assed tub of goo, sumo-in-training, or somewhere between "fluffy" and "DAMN!" - I already know it.  But here's a big difference:  I'm not lobbying to make YOU pick up my health-care tab.  HE IS.  I'M lobbbying to KEEP you from having to pick it up.  While I'm trying to lose weight.
