The company I work for already tacks on a "surcharge" if you smoke. They'll just say this is the same thing, deliberately risky behavior that causes costs to increase for everyone, so you must pay more.
Pretty soon they'll do this for any and all behavior they deem is "risky".

Is this surcharge being added for public plans and medicaid? Yeah, did not think so.

They going to add obesity too ?

Eating red meat ?

What about drinking?

never going to happen, every company that tries this will get sued.

this is NOT the same as smoking, smoking is a preventable issue, Covid attacks even the vaccinated. Are they going to deduct $50 if you don't get the flu-shot???

what about small pox? absolute bullshit

So is drinking, obesity, risky recreational activities, etc. EVERYTHING is preventable so don't start demonizing smokers.

I'm actually surprised they haven't.
The changes made regarding yearly physicals, and the requirement that BMI, etc., is transmitted back to the Company, made me think they were absolutely going to start charging extra for people who don't fall into their narrow definition of "healthy".

Yeah your life for one...As our Forefathers in the past.

Retaliate. Pilfer $50 worth of office supplies every month. Think of it as a gift card.

Beers, chainsaws, and big trees. I'm gonna go broke.

Corn liquor, dirt bikes, and more big trees. Yep, I would end up in the poor house.

If my company did that to me I'd burn their main office to the ground.
