Let's see what happens when they fire the fat people who don't lose weight. No, wait, that will never happen. Nevermind.

They can always resolve this another way, drop health care completely, or raise employee contributions as soon as you make a claim. Opps, they already do this too.

The solution of course does depend on whether the company has any problem hiring and retaining good employees. I would suspect that a better solution would have been to have smokers pay a higher rate out of pocket, but I guess they can do what they want.

24HR Fitness will fire you if you gain too much weight. Happened here in Houston anyway.
