I dunno, I'd have to disagree with Cenk on this one. First off, paying $25/mo for health insurance is pretty darn good. Second, isn't it kinda fair to make people pay a little more who are going to be using the services more and potentially increase costs for everyone else? Where I work, smokers pay an extra fee for health insurance...but none of us get it for free.
That being said I think insurance is pretty much a scam. Isn't it really a bet against yourself? The only way to "win" is to die, get a horrible disease, dismemberment, wreck your car, etc. And that's assuming your claim isn't declined, or your insurance actually covers the incident, or your not dropped. But even if your claim is accepted you'll most likely have to pay a bunch out of pocket and your rates will go up.
That's why I see Dr. Nick and his team of discount surgeons! Same error rates as regular hospitals, but 1/2 the cost becuase they don't pay mal practice insurance (since none of them have a license).

And Wal-Mart is the fattest.

I'd love to charge a tax on my customers at the Wal-Mart deli.
"I'd like a popcorn chicken, please."
"That's a dollar and sixty cents for the chicken, and a 25 dollar tax, so that will be 27 dollars please."
"What?! that's outrageous!"
"What's outrageous is the fact that your pants say "JUICY" on the ass, and the "juice" is chicken grease. 27 dollars, please."
10040no its not genetic, you really can do something about it. Get of your fat ass and do something else besides whine about politics ad eat McDonalds. I dont think its right to charge people for how they treat themselves, but healthy people do more for society too, logically, they move more, and are awake longer.
Why the fuck would you not use your body?, quadriplegics must think obesity is retarded
MarineGunrockI love the idea. It's not charging them for how they look. It's charging them because the state is paying for their insurance and fat people are at a greater risk for a multitude of illnesses, like diabetes and heart problems just to mention a couple.
