Would you approve ?


He claims that fat guys are driving up the costs of healthcare, infrastructure and shit, so from now on Fat People have to pay more in taxes than healthy people to recoup their costs

If that happens, then there needs to be regulation for all the businesses that encourage obesity.

real talk: how is asking smokers to pay extra for health insurance different from asking overweight people to pay extra? yet one of those things seems pretty socially acceptable while the other is not.

Health insurance isn't tax and is more expensive if you're old and fat

Seems counterproductive. Obesity is functionally carbon-storage, and everyone losing weight all at once will just end up creating fucktons of CO2 in a very short time.

So are you saying we should try to make dying people super fat and then bury them?

If Biden tried to tax obesity, I'd hide my money in my folds of fat where he can't find it. Checkmate, Joeflake.

yes, i know that health insurance isn't tax. but you're asking about making fat people pay extra for things due to the risks + challenges their lifestyle accompanies.

where i work there are no additional costs based on age or weight. we all pay the same rate based on the plan we choose. however, if you sign a waiver promising that you are "tobacco free" you get a $50/month discount, effectively charging smokers $50/month. there is no such "fat tax" on our insurance plan.

I don't get what you're trying to say.

Private businsess health insurance already does that.

This topic is about what if the government started doing it with taxes.

And you're going "But what if private businsess did it? What's the difference?"

I'm not following you.
