Well given the impact on EVERYONE's health care costs


from obesity and smoking, this might be one of the biggest levers to reducing health care costs.

And again this applies to non urgent surgery that requires putting the patient out under anesthesia. Fast person breaks a leg, he gets surgery. If he wants yet another hip replacement because his body can't support his weight, then literally, put some skin in the game
