This seriously worries me. Who sets these standards? Why does my employer get to choose my personal habits? This is far more an attack on personal freedom than anything the government has done. I understand the actuarial science, but it's not as if all of us choose our body types. We are not all motivated to be triatheletes. I just think this goes over a line to personal intrusion. I read too much so my eyes may not be so good. I should pay more for my vision coverage? I spend too many hours at work and this leads to a sedentary life style. I should pay more for this bad habit? Where does this intrusion into our personal lives stop? I am familiar with the company that started this with their campaign against smokers. You can be fired if you smoke on your own time. Big Brother really is watching you.
