This is a great idea, although, a little harsh. With the upcoming healthcare change in America, the goverment should implament a similar plan. Just changing it a little, have either a tax break for healthy people or tax the unhealthy more, I'm mainly talking about the overweight people but this could also include smokers or any health problem that the everyday person has control over. This is not to say "tax the disabled." No, just what people can control and stop, so the rest of the tax payers dont have to carry their dead weight.

NZ needs more black guys in gov

What? We have plenty of Maori and Pacific Islanders in parliament. In fact, we even have seven Maori seats. I don't understand what you're getting at here.
I do agree with the policy though. I don't want people coming to NZ and leeching off the welfare programs because they are not healthy. We have enough NZers to take care of first. I don't think the issue was that she was fat, but that she is at high risk to become unwell, NZ probably wouldn't accept a person with cancer either.

I think it's pretty obvious that by black guys I meant african american males. /exasperated sigh. sheesh, foreigners have to have everything explained to them.

Because she was fat?
The couple were informed that New Zealand bars overweight people because of the potential burden they pose to the national health care system. According to New Zealand Robyn Toomath, spokesman of “Fight the Obesity Epidemic” a New Zealand organization dealing with the problems posed by overweight people:
“The immigration department can’t afford to import people who are going to be a significant drain on our health resources.
Simply being overweight does not mean unhealthy. Yes, it's a risk factor. But do they ban smokers? I doubt it. How about people with a family history of (insert your favorite disease here). What, do you think you are a insurance company? Does she have a pre-existing condition that is being treated? If she has no current diagnosis other than being overweight, it's nothing more than blatant discrimination.
Hell, you'd think allowing them to move to NZ would help her. I heard herding goats burns a lot of calories.

Yes. Fat people have more health problems. I thought everyone knew that.

I don't know what the policies are. But, I wish they would ban smokers too. The difference with having a hereditary disease is that the person cannot control it; you can control being fat. That said, if they are at a significant risk, I wouldn't mind banning them too.
However, it goes by a case-by-case basis I am sure. Someone who is highly skilled in a profession in high demand but just do happens to be fat probably won't get turned away. Point is, your application is not decided by one attribute alone. It may be the skills or lack their of combine with an unhealthy lifestyle that decides your eligbility. We don't people draining our already overcapacity welfare system.
NZ also turns away people who cannot speak English. We turn away the uneducated more than the educated. We turn away the poor more than the rich. Is that discrimination?
No, it's common sense. It's the way the world works.

The US does stuff like that, too, Jenne. Not to mention that many people are not even allowed to visit because of the risk that they won't leave.

Oh, so that makes it ok? My bad. I forgot we do everything right.
I don't have a problem with them having the right to deny someone to move to their country, but blindly saying someone is unhealthy or a burden to the healthcare system just because they are overweight is completely ignorant.

black guys love fat white chicks for some reason.

This is pretty hilarious. I'm for more open borders personally but I would think it would make more sense to make these people get health insurance as a condition of entry rather than refuse them

I didn't say it was okay; I'm just saying that you should be careful where you're throwing your stones. Also, I can understand that NZ wants to protect themselves from immigration that is going to negatively affect their budget due to jumps in healthcare costs.

That sounds like some shit made up by a White Fat Chick who loves Black Men (with big dicks, if I may add)

My wife's theory on this is that it's a column buckling thing. They love the fat asses because it stops their hips during penetration so that their shaft does not bottom out on the cervix. I know how much it hurts to miss, so i can only imagine it hurts just as bad if you are hitting a wall every time you enter.

Are you shitting me. We pay billions of dollars every year in health care costs for those come here illegally, and they are worried about the couple fatties who want to move there any pay taxes to cover their health care costs. The two situations are not remotely comparable.
-
They're dealing with more than just a "couple" fatties, and with a nation off NZ's size, I doubt they can afford to lose very much money due to anything. Also, I have no idea where you're getting your "billions of dollars every year" number from, so I'm not going to address it.

How are they losing money? If these people are in good health (no, being fat does not negate this possibility), they are only paying additional taxes into the system to help relieve some of that burden.

California and Texas alone spend over a billion dollars each on health care services for undocumented immigrants.

How is the US losing money, then? NZ is working off the idea that the more overweight someone is, the more likely they are to have significant health problems down the road at a lower age than the average NZer. I don't have the numbers for this, though, so I can't really support or deny that idea with quantitative data.

no, trust me, it's true. black guys generally love a. fat white girls b. huge asses. at least until the black community decides this is a stereotype and they get all self conscious about it.

@whoever thinks fatties dont have to be fatties. http://www.webmd.com/diet/tc/obesity-cause (http://www.webmd.com/diet/tc/obesity-cause) and http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/27/health/webmd/main1757772.shtml (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/27/health/webmd/main1757772.shtml)
and yes, most of the causes are literally 'you ate to much' but several deal with things like genetics and other factors that put you into a high risk category.
as for banning fatties from coming to your island paradise... idk. im torn personally. i see the good and the bad that goes along with it. From where i stand i can see no reason not to ban unhealthy people... but if your going to ban one unhealthy preventable lifestyle choice, you should probably ban them all. this would include smoking, drinking, driving, biking, clifdiving, fishing, hunting...pretty much anything that isnt sitting in a chair all day. but you also cant just sit in a chair all day because then you will get fat, and sitting puts you at a high risk of hemorrhoids, obesity, and blood clots just to name a few things.
