Reply #6: The poor CEOs just have to sacrifice by making sure to reduce the payouts

[Overseas]

their companies have to make to lazy consumers who go ahead and eat donuts.

They just have to sacrifice by making sure their PR firms push the concept of Personal Responsibility, so consumers can fight each other about why the noble joggers and gym rats should have to pay the bills for those couch potatoes who ate too many Cheetos and drank too much beer.

Get the public talking about how it is up to them to reduce health costs by eating more vegetables. Help them understand they must look to themselves and not the distinguished CEOs who are worth every penny of those millions they earn by making the tough choices on reducing their companies' liabilities by denying care. Somebody's gotta decide not to fund that bone marrow transplant and they're taking on that sacrifice, so they deserve a special retreat in the Bahamas and a private jet.

So I guess we're giving them a heavenly existence and spa treatments now because they're facing a ton of karmic retribution in their next lives?

But we don't want to look there. We want the national discussion to focus instead on how terribly unfair it is that Responsible People should have to pay for other people who don't try to eat right and stay in shape. That younger folks should have to bear the burden of deteriorating older folks that ate too much white bread and bacon. This is the land of the Strong Individual who takes care of himself. Let those others just eat cake and die, I guess. They were weak and succumbed to the thousands of pro-snacking ads on their TVs, so why should they be entitled to medical treatment for their weakness?

And in the meantime, those weak impulse consumers will spend lots of money on the many medications they'll need to prop them up until all their healthcare dollars are spent and they can't afford those meds anymore.
