Cvs
cvs is requiring workers who use company health insurance to report their weight, and body fat and glucose levels to the insurer - or pay a $600 a year penalty.
If workers don't sign up, their medical coverage will jump by $50 a month.
CVS spokesperson Michael D'angelis said this will help manage health associated costs.
Patient Privacy Rights founder Dr. Deborah Peet added that mounting health care costs have made these polices increasingly popular.
Rising health care costs are killing the economy and businesses are terrified. Employers are desperate to get rid of workers who have costly health conditions , like obesity and diabetes. More people will lose their jobs as the "affordable healthcare" kicks in and businesses are just starting to brace for what is to come. You don't think "out of the blue" "all of a sudden" a drugstore is concerned with your weight?? We're not talking a weight loss business here keeping track of their employees.
