no way and never would. This is in place because of social insurance as they put it in the article. We are far from that....especiually if a certain unamed president stays in office. I think the dem. candidates were talking of trying to get a system of it started though.

So we don't just go by fatness, rather the unsurance companies look at every correlational study and believe it to be causation. So then if you fit the pattern, they raise your rates.
