I know how to solve California's budget problem.
 

While it's a nice thought I know this issue will never
be solved. But WOW $41.2 billion? If we could just
cut it in half that would be a good start.
All of you people please eat healthy and stay fit.... ;)

The total annual estimated cost to California for overweight, obesity and physical inactivity was $41.2 billion – $21.0 billion for overweight and obesity, and $20.2 billion for physical inactivity. Health care costs totaled $20.7 billion and lost productivity costs reached $20.4 billion. Health care costs associated with overweight and obesity were $12.8 billion while health care costs associated with physical inactivity totaled $7.9 billion. Finally, lost productivity costs associated with overweight and obesity were $8.2 billion, and lost productivity costs associated with physical inactivity were $12.3 billion.

Or the easier route, legalize maryjane to the masses and tax the hell out of it...

Agreed...also, what about the cost of caring illegal immigrants? How will you solve that?

Let me repeat this "The total annual estimated cost to California for overweight, obesity and physical inactivity was $41.2 billion"
This answer doesn't require passing any laws, or raising any taxes. All of you please eat healthy and stay fit.... and stay out of the hospital.
If we can save half of what it cost we can solve the budget problem..:nanana:

You can't mandate that everyone be healthy, you couldn't even pick a scale to determine what 'healthy' is for every human being. Just ask any weight lifter who got a BMI done :rofl:

Personal Responsibility...it is a bitch.

Awwww Shucks. What was I thinking???
