Obesity in this country is a serious problem and getting worse. The stats are depressing. One that really stood out to me is that Veterans are more obese than the general population according the the VA by a good percentage. I think a good solution would be to create a real financial incentive. So, a health provider proposes a contract. They will give you $5000 at the end of the year if you meet your target weight. If you miss it, you owe them $1200 or something or scale how much they owe to how much they lost. We need some creative thinking to motivate people IMO. Â
@beastmode:
Paying in will never fly but not getting paid would probably motivate some.
Hard for me to believe we still have people smoking. Not only do you **** money away on nothing, it will kill you. I guess the gene pool eventually works that out. 4951
