How can companies have the guts to raise health care premiums on different types of workers?
June 8th, 2008 | by admin |
Companies want to add surcharges for health insurance forobesity and high blood pressure or cholesterol and smokers.
I call BS on this. How can one charge anyone else more for health care when those are just habits that can be seen.
What about all the people who practice unsafe sex, drive like bats our of hell, have anger management problems, genetic problems and predispositions, pregnancy and fertitlity problems, and drug problems.
Until EVERYONE is penalized equally for just living, then employers should just suck it up and deal.
EVERYONE has a vice.
Pretty soon they are going to nit pick enough to that they do not have to provide health care for anyone.
What are you going to do when they start pointing that finger at you to raise YOUR premium because of what neighborhood you live in or how many speeding tickets you have gotten or some other weird measure to put you into a risk catagory?
I am waiting on someobese person to take a sexually active HIV positive person to the employers attention.
Health care records are supposed to be PRIVATE and if a fatty (me included) can be outed for all of our health problemsm why shouldnt someone who has a hidden problem be brought to the light too.
And that is what I would be paying my lawyer to bring up….
YES I AGREE that the US health care BITES… but it is going to be a long haul to change.
