Is anyone participating in or visiting this group under 60 years old and healthy (not cronicly taking prescripton meds, not "disabled", not cripped, not whining about how much pain they are in, not morbidly obese)?
Seems not, except for me.
Wait... just wait!
Well , I'm only 62 - in 2 weeks . But the only meds I take are over the counter for back pain , and I don't take those every day . Actually , since I made the decision to heat with wood I've dropped about 10-15 pounds and toned everything up . I'm almost back down to where I was before I quit smoking cigs , at a svelte 135 lbs . Swinging a sledge at a wedge is good exercise , and swinging a splitting maul could be considered aerobic !
Perfect health.
Yep , me too.
Other than being over 60 and having had both of my knees replaced, I'm in perfect health. The last time I had anything worse than a cold was 1955.
I presume you are not taking mental health into consideration ? If you were, you would have to tick yourself off the list. IMHO []'s
I caught that one too. I remember it well. Boss sent me home early from the coal-mines. Said I was spoiling the merchandize with my sneezes. Who wants snotty coal ? []'s
Well in my case it was bacterial meningitis and they loaded me up with penicillin and I was fine.
The doctor had been very busy and told my dad he could not make it until afternoon...but on a hunch came early.
He told my dad that by afternoon it would have been too late.
Sheesh, I did not see what the big deal was. I woke up paralyzed but was not too worried about it.
I'm not even 30 and I can kick ass.

Certainly not philo's ass, and he is much older.
Hi, How about over 70? Except for me? No known family history? I am talking abbout your gene, how did your dad die? Was he healthy like you? Are you knocking on the wood?
Except for his/her/its mental health. Poor killer Loon. ^_^

Slow reflexes? Die young. So says an article in the LA Times.
How ridiculous.
Out of the average paycheck of anyone older than 30 in Canada, you can probably trace anywhere from $500 to $750 of the monthly income tax deducted at source going to one of the provincial health insurance programs.
And what do we get from that? A life expectancy about 2 or 3 years higher than the average american, lower rate of infant mortality, almost no personal bankruptcy due to medical or healthcare issues.
And - no such thing as "co-pays" or deductibles.
Watch the video below. Your average 40 or 50-something with one or two kids is going to be paying over $1000 in monthly insurance premiums, a $40 co-pay, and a $4,000 deductible - which would just about wipe out the average family's savings.
The truth is - you people can't afford to get sick.
Healthcare in the USA - it was a joke before ObamaCare. Now it's just a sick comedy.

Watch: Employees in Pennsylvania Company Learn of Increased Health Costs Due to Obamacare
10:43 AM, Jan 30, 2014A local news station brings viewers inside one Pennsylvania company as the employees there learn about their new health care plans under Obamacare:
"Look at the numbers," says the reporter of two employees. "Jeff and Dave used to have a $1,250 deductible. Since Obamacare went into effect, it's now jumped 60 percent to $2,000. That's nothing compared to Brian, Kristi, and Judy who have kids. they are going to pay twice that, four grand." The reporter adds that co-pays are being increased, too.
"I don't know how President Obama thinks he's helping us because we can't afford this, we can't afford to pay these co-pays, to pay these deductibles on what we're making," says one of the workers.
Another worker adds, "They call it the affordable health plan. There's nothing affordable about it. I can't afford it."
Hey pal, you noticed that too eh? ^_^
What's up Shadow? Do you find the whack jobs posting here to be more amusing than those in the other groups I see you in? I even have a fanboy, Killer Loon, who's using part of my nym, sort of a junior Hatter. I do have fun here. ^_^
TDD
27 percent of 17 to 24-year-olds in the United States are too fat to serve in the military.
Waky Zaky, the only thing fat about you is your head. How many nyms do you have anyway? ^_^
TDD
At 12, you should be.
