CVS isn’t doing anything different than any other company that wants to controls its costs.
If I want to be on the top health care plan my company offers, I have to jump through similar hoops. It’s actually quite rational to not “group” together people who smoke and are overweight and refuse to try exercising with those who are reasonably attentive to their health.
The company and I are partners in paying for health care. This saves both of us money.
This is not the same as excluding those with conditions or diseases beyond their control. This is about choices people make.
Companies (for now) are under no obligation to provide any insurance. So trying to save money (for them and their employees) by grouping like this is completely fine.
Now, if and when Obamacare mandates that you get in your daily time on the treadmill, or that you eat your veggies, then it’s a different issue.
I already get those calls....I just lie if I feel like it. It’s none of their biz. Cannot fathom that I need a nanny taking care of me. I get extra healthcare money for providing this info now. Wait till they just have full access to your efile personal health info on line from your doctor.
