YOU WERE WARNED! Now what will you do??

Today, at work I received an email that our company now has the health rewards program. This is a program which pays up to $450 a year to members for staying healthy. Basically, if you are healthy you will be rewarded for doing so. The downside is what are the pentalities to those who are not healthy? What will they do those who refuse to eat right, exercise, or even take small steps toward a healthier life? I kept trying to warn people but they wouldn't listen. Now, the healthcare reform has been the biggest issue. However, they are not disclosing valuable information to the general public. On 1/4/2010 I read where at least 11 states are filing a lawsuit stating consumer rights are being infringed upon. No details at this moment but I'm still waiting. I know my good ole home state of Texas was on that list. I'm so thankful that I went to school and learned as much as possible and saw this disaster headed our way. I've never been able to get the black community or other black women's support in this matter. I'm still trying to work on that but it's impertative I continue to write as this thing unfolds. This health movement will be ugly for Blacks because we have the worst health of all racial groups. We have the highest numbers in the major categories, BP, BMI, glucose(diabetes), and cholesterol. My people I urge you to do something about your health. You will be held accountable for your health. We discussed these issues while I was in school. Many times, I heard students say, "It's not fair, people who don't take care of themselves get health insurance and still do nothing as all those benefits are paid." I've been in the grocery store and watch the smirks on their faces as they watch a fat black in one of the scooter reserved for the elderly pull up with two baskets of food and the baskets are loaded with junk food, at least two cases of soda, huge boxes of cereal loaded with sugar, plenty of meat which is bad for the health, and no fruits or vegetables. People are mad and disgusted by this behavior..and this type of behavior will be met with the strictist of punishment ever seen by our society. They are not playing this game anymore.
