[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately. We all pick up the cost of obesity related illness via increased premiums. Your health neglect becomes our expense. [/quote] Yes, and we also pick up the expenses for your my co-worker's anxiety attacks, my thin husband's high blood pressure, and the cancer treatment that everyone is likely to need if they live long enough. And end-of-life care, which is astronomically expensive. That is the point of shared risk, and not everyone's health conditions are readily visible. Shouting about a People magazine cover and being cruel to fat people is NOT going to bring health expenses down. It's just not.[/quote] Being honest about healthy choices and not glorifying obesity will bring down health expenses if obese people start eating less. If society tells obese people that is is ok then we will continue to pay for preventable diseases. We shouldn't glorify smoking either. [/quote]
