Doyou think there is a trainer out there who would do it? I have an awful plot in my head right now.... world domination through vaginal biting. Just not my vagina.

i LOVE pits too. I have a pit/shepherd mix and he's the biggest lap dog. Goes to show you its not the breed, its the owner/trainer

>> ^imstellar28:
1. I [will] never get seriously sick or injured.

This is a false assertion, especially when you put the implied "will" into it.

2. I already have health insurance with a no-drop clause.

This too is a false assertion.

3. I'm a millionaire. I pay for healthcare in cash.

The plan will reduce the cost of the care you receive by making sure doctors no longer have incentives to pad your bill with unneeded tests and procedures, as well as allowing group plans to negotiate prices with care providers and pharmaceutical companies.

Plus, chances are if you're a millionaire you've got insurance coverage now, especially since medical costs can easily wipe out the bank account of a mere millionaire.

4. I'm ideologically and superstitiously opposed to placing bets against my own health.

Then your irrational fears will no longer hamper you from receiving care when inevitably you encounter a problem with your health. Though I suspect they will allow groups like Christian Scientists to be able to have an exemption from mandates on a religious basis.

5. I'm a doctor, surgeon, and pharmacist. Healthcare is free for me.

6. All my friends are doctors, surgeons, and pharmacists. Healthcare is free for me.

It's not free for the provider of the benefit. Reducing their costs will mean they have more money to spend on other things, like private jets and hookers, or hopefully higher doctor salaries, higher investment in the facility, etc.

7. I don't believe in modern medicine; rather I believe in a healthy diet, exercise, and the avoidance of unnecessary risk.

Modern medicine believes in those things as well, and one of the sub-goals of this is to get more preventative care covered, so things like dieticians, personal trainers, gym memberships and the like will also be covered in some form.

6. I live on a remote farm with no physical access to healthcare.

False premise, everyone has physical access in a world where we have helicopters. Presumably if there's a large enough pool of people who only have access to medical care via medevac someone will create a HDHP product that's aimed at such a market. If not, and they earn too much to qualify for Medicaid somehow, they're going to get a subsidy to help them pay for their choice of private/public individual plans, or pay a fine.

7. I don't believe in medical intervention. If injury or disease are in my cards, so be it.

Again, I presume there will be provisions that allow exclusion on religious beliefs.

8. I rely on foreign healthcare paid in cash. Its a free vacation and is much cheaper than healthcare in the US - even with insurance.

It might make care cheap enough for you to be able to get care here. I doubt there are many people for which this statement is 100% true though.

If it's true, we should copy the system of this hypothetical other country -- presumably Canada's -- and go for a much stronger form of government involvement in health care.

9. I have a large network of friends and family. We have agreed to donate money if one of us is seriously ill. None of us need insurance.

I'm not familiar with the finest of details of the plan, but I believe that allowing the formation insurance co-ops is going to be in there. In other words, such a scheme could qualify as being insurance.

10. Health insurance is a bad investment for me because I am rarely sick or injured. The money I save on premiums goes into a high-yield investment portfolio, whose funds I will draw upon in the event of an emergency.
Please explain how health care reform helps me?

If you have enough money in the investment portfolio, it may qualify as insurance (e.g. auto insurance requirements can be satisfied by this kind of thing now). If not, I suspect there will be many private insurance products targeted at just this sort of person, since I think there are nearly 20 million people who're uninsured for exactly this reason now.

I doubt you'd get resistance from the left on things like adding provisions for people to self-insure via co-op or high-value Health Savings Account, or letting people opt out on the basis of religious beliefs. I think your second #6 would be a worthy topic if there truly were lots of people in that category, though I suspect the response would be to look into what could be done to give them physical access to care, rather than just exempting them from the relevant mandates.

No - a very calm, rational, unbiased look at Obama's words & deeds. I'm not 'defending' Beck. He puts things poorly, exaggerates, and has biases of his own. But I'm not defending Obama either. It is plain as day that Obama's reaction to Beergate was racially oriented. I'm open to an explanation about how Obama's words can be interpreted in any other way except as his personal prejudice in favor of a black man over a white cop.

This is a great video that puts its finger right on the heart of the matter. Time frame 3:03 onward. "What do we learn from this video?" asks the PC sensitivity trainer. Answers, "Yes - that only white people can be racist." Brilliant. You guys are the sensitivity trainer. You go around slavishly obeying the PC mantra that black people can't be racists. Well, guys like Reverent Wright, Jesse Jackson, Professor Gates, and Barak Obama prove you wrong.

^No pimping here, just Bender hanging out with fembots after he's become a famous ring fighter and visiting Leela as his trainer with the couple of them.

I'm not able to lose 410 pounds. I respect the suggestion but I wouldn't exist if I did so.

gwiz just told me in a private message that gwiz is short for 'gay wizard'

that explains a lot.

are bicep curls and barbell rows stupid exercises?

In reply to this comment by rebuilder:
Upvote for kettlebell sumo deadlift-high pull. I saw "personal trainer" in the title, was sure I'd see someone doing bicep curls or barbell rows or other mystifying exercises like that, but no! There was that last remark about "maybe doing a little bit of bodybuilding", though...

Were I paying her as a personal trainer, I'd want her to actually do the damn exercise. Were I paying her as a prostitute I'd obviously expect more than I'm seeing. As it is, I would be paying her to do a terrible job training or satisfying me. She is the fitness trainer you wish you had if you read Maxim.
