According to the calculator, my BMI is 42.0 Yet whenever I goto the doctor he says I'm healthy as a horse.

Tough one... I am a smoker, my rates are affected by that fact. Yet I am not overweight, I work out, I eat healthy. It would be challenging to determine who is carrying a few extra pounds and still healthy.
I have a sister who is 300 pounds and constantly eats pills for pain because her legs swell and can barely carry her weight...she is a heart attack waiting to happen. However being thin is not a guarantee one is healthy. Look at a skinny drug addict...a rack of bones from smoking meth or crack...that person is not healthy just because they are thin. I don't see how this could ever be passed... |

Oct. 11: In an effort to reduce health care costs, North Carolina may require state workers whose body mass index exceeds a certain limit to pay more for their insurance. Former plus-size model Catherine Schuller and John Banz-Haf of George Washing University discuss the issue. Find the video from Today Show 10/11/2009 http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/3041426/ns/today-today_health Can't wait for Obama Health Care?? Once North Carolina requires this, watch other States jump on, then watch your Employers jump on. If your 40-50 lbs over weight you will pay more. Bob out Thats ok, Weight is something that can be helped and managed, good incentive. |
