Not if you want to keep your job.

Your enrollment and participation in a wellness program is as voluntary as your paying your taxes.

Don’t want to? Here’s your pink slip.

I’m threading the line with my employer right now. What they did was to use inducements to encourage participation in the wellness program. That captured nearly all employees who were seeing their healthcare costs double or triple and who were desperate to try and control costs.

This year they offered offsets for healthcare related expenses in exchange for participation in a survey. The survey was extremely invasive and covered ground that I too thought illegal (intimate sexual matters among other topics). And yes it inquired as to my status as a gun owner.

I refused to participate (as did more than half the employees). Shocked at the response, but thimble-brained leftists unable to think their way out of a wet paper bag, they next resorted to threats of INCREASED costs shifted to those employees who failed to “volunteer”.

That’s where we currently stand. I refuse to participate and have mentioned lawsuit if they persist or retaliate (They are rightly scared shiftless of the word “retaliate”).
