All,

I am very fearful of the insurance backlash. Earlier this year, the insurance company that manages health insurance for the large corporation that I work for had a survey. They first informed everyone that overweight individuals, smokers, those with diabetes and high blood pressure generate most of the insurance cost. The company then implied that rising costs were 'those' people's faults. The next step that was taken was a massive questionnaire asking employees if they felt that 'those' people should be charged more for insurance.

So the punishments are on their way.

Nowhere is there any talk of payment for gyms, flex time for exercise, or better food in the cafeteria...where it's all junk food all the time...and where a 'semi-healthy' salad can cost more that the hamburger and fries special. To make things worst, I dare you to ask and receive any nutritional information on what's being served.

It makes my LC blood boil
