Go back and read my post again, maybe several times for you. I did not mix averages with Chinese person being hit. I was responding with the story about the Chinese gal being hit to a comment about immortality. "when it's your day, its your day".

Are you suggesting that a person that CHOSES to retire earlier than 65 should pay extra for healthcare insurance?? Well, I am still working! I am 53, my healthcare insurance premiums went from $750 a month to $1300 a month in the last 3 years, and I am healthy. That still does not make it fair to me, does it?


I am struggling to understand your silly logic on this comment...No I do not smoke, no I am not fat. I did not mention suicide, do you think I am guilty of that?

Again your silly logic, no I don't hate people, I don't think it is fair that I have to pay more for my health insurance so some other lazy POS who eats too much or smokes cigarettes can get healthcare (heart disease is the number 1 killer in the country, and cancer is the number 2 killer). If I did hate people, which I don't, obviously me being healthy discounts your above statement.

That being said, people who do all the right things (eating healthy, not smoking, not drinking, not doing drugs, etc.) still cannot escape their genetics and do have heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc., in spite of all their efforts to avoid them.

As to your "fat" argument, many drugs to treat cancer and rheumatoid arthritis just to name a couple, do lead to what appears to people like you as fat and worthy of judgment, but is actually fluid retention. There is a major difference. One can be helped, as you have repeatedly stated; the other cannot without stopping life-saving treatment. What would be your choice? Would you rather look good so others won't think you overeat, or live?
