Acorn will be monitoring your lifestyle:
The health care reform bill approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP) would provide federal grants to state and local governments and a “national network of community-based organizations” to “promote healthy living and reduce disparities” and to monitor people’s weight, eating, exercise habits and other individual behaviors that affect health at the community level. The language instituting the program, entitled “Community Transformation Grants,” is on pages 382-387 of the bill as posted on the committee’s Web site. (Teh Resistance)
"A national network of community based organizations." Hmmm. Who could that be?
And here I used to JOKE about government enforced jogging. I would never have DREAMED
that it may become a reality.
