Even if they made the obese pay extra they wouldn't give the rest of us a discount anyway. Who are you kidding? Do you really think they are on our side any more than the pharmaceutical companies? Do you know much about managed care and how it affects our industry? Insurance companies make a mint and they try to share as little of it as possible.
