If actuaries work out that it is a net savings to the federal government to get people healthy, then I say - pay them tax dollars. If you saved 100k for every 5k you paid out to the overweight to lose weight, I say pay them. If it doesn't work out as a savings, then don't. I am not for doing things that statistically don't work. When I suggest things, whenever I suggest things, I'd want the system tested to make sure it did what it was supposed to do. I wouldn't care WHY it did it, only that it did it. I'd want the system to save money, and make people healthier. If the system could do that. I'd say it was tax dollars well spent.
