As a healthcare classifed obese person I feel I should be ofended at this but I’d wear a fit bit type of thingy for reduced premiums.Maybe knowing big brotha is watching would reduce me walking into to kitchen. Oh wait, that’d reduce my steps towards the million steps…….
This only works if people are honest. I know someone whose company gave them FitBits and they get discounts on their insurance for walking 10,000 steps a day. If you shake the FitBit, it records it as steps and I have seen this person do that at the end of the day, if they didn’t walk enough.
“…isn’t concerned about privacy with the gadgets…the program injects more fairness into the system because those who are healthier currently end up shouldering more costs for those who aren’t.”
Amen! Collect data on me. If I choose to sit all day and all night vs get up, move a million steps, show progress of weightloss and adopting a better lifestyle, why should or shouldn’t I be the recipient of higher or lower premiums? Love it. It’s a choice people. Stop the heath care socialism and get off the couch. You don’t think Facebook does something with all that personal data every time you visit your favorite ‘naughty’ site and use -Log In with Facebook- because it’s faster? Strap on a Fitbit instead.
This is not for me. Once I get home from my beautiful agency, I am done walking. My Rascal Scooter (I named it Skeeter the Scooter) is parked right by my front door. Skeeter takes me right to the couch and I’m there for the night. It has a basket on the front that I can load up on my food so I don’t have to get up, not even once.
Does Skeeter fit in your pink Honda Accord? Do you fly your “Don’t Tread on Me” flag from the back of Skeeter? Can you attach a Rebel flag decorated gun rack to it?
I know everyone has cravings so I created three bite rule. If you see something that you crave, but you know it’s not good fro you put on a diet, you can eat, but they only have 3 or less bites get their wish fulfilled. Then drink tons of water to get the taste out of your mouth so you do not crave more. The cardio was very difficult for me, so since I was a smoker. So I decided to switch to vaping like smoking (electronic cigarettes). I foudn it was a healthier alternative. Once I switched I was able to run for long periods of time without tiring. I felt great waking up without phlegm in the throat.

Agent, you really are a “rascal on your little Rascal”!
Yes, I am. I also have a giant supply of XL depends so I don’t even have to go the bathroom! Honey Boo Boo here I come!
What?! Agent having a sense of humor? Has to be Booger.
How well we know them both!
How do you ride Skeeter up & down those stairs?
Skeeter rides me up and down those stairs.

No, but he’s got steer horns strapped to the front of the basket!
Wow! I just woke up from a 48 hour nap and it looks like a Texican fertilizer plant exploded all over this blog. What the hell happened.
We were talking about your Rascal Scooter, not your nephew Skeeter.
Guess they won’t be able to feast on “Tongue in cheek”!
You just woke up….that’s what the hell happened!
More exercising leads to more instensive breathing which causes more carbon dioxide pollution. He should pay an extra tax for poisoning the planet.
