What is the problem w/ surcharging the obese for health insurance?

You're mistaken when it comes to group health policies. I understand the underwriting differences between the grossly obese, obese and those who are not. I practice in the Health Law area. But group policies and the supposed benefit of group health insurance rather than all of us getting individual policies was to be free of those underwriting criteria that increase the individual's risk. I actually see benefits to those who advocate that we move to individual policies. My concern with this is the slippery slope we're going down here in a group policy arena.
