Our company is promoting quitting smoking techniques. I think it's wrong to raise rates without providing help to quit smoking.0

First they came for the smokers, and I didn't say anything because I'm not a smoker
Then they came for the fatties, and I didn't say anything because I'm not fat
Then they came for me, and by that time all the fun loving, cigarette smoking, fat *kitten* who might have defended me were already gone.

I am not a smoker (anymore) but I have to wonder. Where would this end?
Smokers? Fat people? Women? Old people? We are all at risk. And once the smokers are0 -

Its already happened to a friend of mine. She works for the state and they told her to lose weight or they'd raise the cost of her insurance. Then didnt do a freaking thing to 'help' her drop weight. Nor do they take into account the health issues she has that would make exercise difficult, they dont offer nutrition classes, nothing. Just drop the weight or pay more $$
Insurance Co's are the greediest bunch ever! Its a multi-billion $$ industry and they dont give a rats rear end about anything but making more $$0
