Sean, agree completely. I thought the same thing, and not only with BMI. We engage in all sorts of high-risk behavior that adds to healthcare costs - and there are no similar penalties, particularly for group insurance. But yes, the "fat and lazy" America we know and love is the primary issue. We eat too much and are too sedentary. It is just that simple. And we eat a lot of crap.
The recent Gato post with the image from Wall-E (cute robot, excellent social commentary) is spot-on. In a sense, the covid vaccine is a microcosm of our broader healthcare behavior. Isn't there a shot I can take to change my weight/size/activity? It is so much easier than committing to taking better care of ourselves. That is way too hard!!
