[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm a fairly in shape white male, and I think you should be commended for your efforts.

Serious question - given the documented health risks that come along with being very overweight/obese, and the significant costs to society of treatment and/or accommodation of those health problems, do you think overweight people should pay more for health insurance?  [/quote]

Thanks PP! I'm not completely sure, because I'm not well read on the subject. I would think you should pay more for services that you utilize. So if you have more health issues maybe you should. I honestly don't know. On one hand it's a disability, and a larger person most likely was responsible for their size, on the other hand it's out of some peoples control. I'm not sure how that would be regulated. If a person is special needs, or has a disability you can't charge them more in a child care center, even if you need more/ special resources for that child.

I don't think that's a great comparison but it made me think of that.[/quote]
