I frankly don’t think people are going to be any more receptive to their employer or insurance company “nudging” them on their personal habits than they were about Barry and Moochelle trying to do it.

They are doing that already. I know of companies that regularly test for nicotine, and will fire or discipline you if you come up positive. I know of a few personally who will charge you higher rates for each point of BMI you are above normal.

If you expect someone to pay for your health care, they will take an interest in what you do to protect the investment.

I don’t know about that. My son’s company health insurance plan offers discounts for various things, like walking (tracked via pedometer, not sure how he enters the info) a specified distance each week, which he is happy to do since it saves him money and kickstarts his exercise program -

I see nothing wrong with offering incentives. I wish I could find one that would get me away from this desk!

Moochelle talks down to people, goes around parents to indoctrinate children, lies shamelessly and offers nothing to the citizens she disdains except the opportunity to see & hear her wonderfulness. That’s not a big seller in flyover country.
