Hidden Stimulus Mandate: The Fat Police Are Coming
Here is an article from deathby1000papercuts.com, a worldwide leader in weird news, discussing a health mandate that is hidden in the Stimulus Bill requiring that all health care records contain body mass index (BMI).
NEW MANDATES HIDDEN IN STIMULUS BILL
The Fat Police are coming.
But first, they have to make a list to find out who’s naughty or nice–or overweight.
More rules for the not-so-little-people spring from the Obama agenda as rammed through Congress last year.
(CNSNews.com) – New federal regulations issued this week stipulate that the electronic health records–that all Americans are supposed to have by 2014 under the terms of the stimulus law that President Barack Obama signed last year–must record not only the traditional measures of height and weight, but also the Body Mass Index: a measure of obesity.
The obesity-rating regulation states that every American’s electronic health record must: “Calculate body mass index. Automatically calculate and display body mass index (BMI) based on a patient’s height and weight.”
