This chart is manure if you exercise.
A low body fat percentage coupled with high muscle density puts you at overweight.

a 6 foot male at 165 would look sickly.

Clarian Health Partners will charge employees as much as $30 every two weeks unless they meet weight, cholesterol and blood-pressure guidelines that the company deems healthy.

Most fudgepackers with AIDS probably meet those guidelines.

This insult to privacy and personal rights is only made possible because of the socialist setup we have right now. If private sexual practices are outside the bounds of what an employer can control of an employee’s behavior, so is what he eats or how much, what exercise he does and when. If we want to allow employers to sanction obese employees, because the employer pays the health insurance costs, then we must allow the employer to have a say in any other behavior that affects health insurance costs: diet, exercise, hobbies, driving practices, where he lives, etc.

The only solution is to insist that employees carry their own insurance, paid for out of their own pocket, and that the employers just pay the worker their full gross pay, that is the pay plus the existing insurance subsidy. That takes health care out of the realm of the employer, where it never belonged and restores it to the person who is insured and the person who submits the claims.

We must never allow anyone, government or employer, to provide a function that we need and should pay for ourselves. This is just as true for health insurance as it is for saving for retirement.

Here’s a test for all of you: If you think fining prople for their weight and living habits is ok, raise your hand. Now, everyone who raised their hand is, at heart, a big government loving liberal and can’t deny it, although I am sure the ones who think this way will send me many comments screaming their denial.

I don’t know about shorter people, but the BMI chart for tall people is absolutely idiotic and clearly wrong: 6’2 163# is NOT “Healthy”.

Employees must stay fit and trim and think only happy thoughts.

People who have happy thoughts appear happy and pleasant.

Others can tell when someone is unhappy.

Unhappy thoughts bring stress and disease.

Stress and disease have costs associated with them.

Staff who appear unhappy will incur a 50% pay reduction per each day of perceived unhappiness to offset possible future use of benefits or sicktime.

Management will determine who is unhappy.
