I think telling me I can't smoke or be fat if I want a certain job is telling me what to do.
It's restricting my freedom of choice for what kind of job I may want.
It's not a "for sure" thing that I am going to cost them a bundle in health care if I smoke or am fat.
With this kind of thinking we should check everybody genetically and charge those people with bad DNA more for health care.
What about people with a history of heart disease or cancer, shouldn't they pay more for health care. They're going to use more of it.
