How about simply allowing health insurance companies to price their policies according to risk—including weight?

My insurer sends me a survey every year, which I am required to answer or pay a huge penalty.

They ask how many servings of fruit and veggies I eat each week, how much I exercise and what kind of exercise. They ask if I have used tobacco products in the last 5 years, ( answer that one incorrectly and they raise your premiums) they ask me if I drink alcoholic beverages and if so, how much.

The only thing they don't ask me on their asinine form and never will, is if I lead the sodomite life style, a known and very expensive, to insurers, health hazard.

Mark my words, alcohol is next on their agenda. They can't outright out law it, they already know that won't work, they don't give a rats ass anyway about how much people drink, only that gov can tax the hell out of it and insurers can raise premiums.

The same cheeseburger written about by this idiot has tripled in price since Obama became president. Not only is the 99 cent Jumbo Jack gone, so is the Jack in the Box restaurant by my house.

California has a snack tax and they are broke. Government is like a dope fiend with access to endless narcotics.
