American Thinker: I'm From the Government and I'm Here for Your BMI

American Thinker: I'm From the Government and I'm Here for Your BMI:

Imagine that it is the year 2014. You have just gotten home from a long day of work when you get a knock at the front door. 'Mr. Smith?' a youngish, neatly dressed man with a clipboard and plastic, government issued identification badge asks. 'I'm from the CDC. According to your official electronic health records, you haven't been to a health check-up for a while. In compliance with section 3001 of the 2009 Economic Stimulus Bill that was signed into law, you are required to submit your weight so that we can monitor your BMI (Body Mass Index). Please step onto the scale.'"
