Do you know how much a friggin' knee-replacement operation costs for example?
Perhaps it's who I know, but I know more athletes who've required extensive, expensive, knee surgery than morbidly obese.
If there's one thing that has policymakers and actuaries in a tizzy these days, it's how to contend with the costs associated with paying for all of the knee-repair bills for amateur athletes.
It's actually kind of flattering when people who can't address an argument intelligently, let alone refute it, elect to respond in this fashion.

No, I think the logic is that if you are unhealthy in any way, you don't get insurance. Insurance is permitted only for people who don't need it.
It would please big business immenseley to enact this change.
It's perfect. You pay in perpetuity for a service you'll never use. Genius!

For everyone else - the fatter they get, the more they should pay for their health insurance.
So by that same logic bulimics and anorexics should receive free care?

shit - I'm set for life based on cc.com spray alone

I'm tired of subsidizing the stupid people in the world. I want them to pay their own way. They don't have to be stupid, they choose to be a dumbass. Lizard brain - you owe me $1,000

at some point the individual isn't capable of monitoring all that goes on in their life and must rely on some agent. Often that agent is called "government" because its proven itself more honest than "the market" (note relative term used)

Yes. Anything that'll save me money. After all, I am completely self-involved.
Not genetic - statisics.
SELF VALIDATION!
I vote we through the skinny fucks in freezing water for 15 minutes. Or just give them a serious traumatic injury and watch them die.
Or just end all forms of insurance and make everybody pay for themselves, it's the only way to ensure everyones insurance is accurate.

There we go - resting heart rate around 52. Run 30+ miles a week. Ran 17 miles yesterday. (Marathon approaching.)
Yeah, I look at these people like my doc and my cousin, and wonder what they think when they have to deal with people that are practically killing themselves, and just making excuses while they do it. It's their choice, I guess.
Do you apply that standard to people working high stress jobs as well?

I hear so much stuff from people that say they can't lose weight. But when I look at what they're eating, and how much of it...
I sat down in the break room to eat my lunch with two gigantic women at a place where I was working some years ago. One of them said 'Is that all you're gonna eat?' I wanted to say 'If I ate as much as you, I'd be as fat as you', but working for the state at the time, I could have been fired in a second for not being completely PC.
I just shrugged. 'Yeah.'

So transferring agency to Nicotine for smoking was not a good sign?
Simple statements about personal virtue are rarely effective in producing change amongst people - their only product is a sense of smug selfsatisfaction in the utterer

we should put people like him on bulletainboards so people can point, laugh, and say "haha I'm glad I'm not a dumbass"

If I were to go with a guide I'd spring the $$ and hire a private guide to build up a good relationship - the same as I would with a climbing partner I planned to go on a big, long, expensive expedition with.
edit; Mountain Madness sold for <$200,000 back in 1997? Goddamn there is no money in guiding!

Agreed. If my neighbors can't produce a quality product for a competitive price
since the price is unchanged, and the debate on quality has no datapoints, why is buying rice better than mcdonalds?
(unless you've got some farcical notion of "high value added")

So really what you and JayB are saying is you want people to be charged by risk as long as your premiums aren't affected.
Typical
