Yes For Fat Tax!

To tax someone based on his/her BMI is a serious flaw.  BMI is not an accurate measurement of someones weight and how obese they might be.  You can be tall, well built, and not have an ounce of fat on your body and have a BMI over 25. I'm 6'6" and 220 lbs.  That's a BMI of 25.4, which is considered overweight.  I workout 5 days a week, eat healthy, and am far from being overweight.  Should I be taxed the same as a guy that has the same BMI and doesn't workout or watch their weight.

I don't think so.

I agree that BMI is a flawed measurement when it pertains to athletes - so lighten up. This site is not meant to be taken 100% seriously, at least not quite yet.

tax is no way. but what matters is the type of insurance. And the PRIVATE INSURANCE is needed in this case!! where the health insurance is adjusted according to the risk of the client. So when you are obese you will pay more because of additional healt problems. Society cannot bear the cost of society in the form of pool insurance. Some obese people are obese because of genetics,ok. It is not their fault. But is it fault of the others?? Of course not. Communism is the PAST. I cannot pay for others for their obesity, unemployment. the TAX IS NO WAY, only private type of insurance.
