I watched this before I left for work. Pretty funny but I think it is a good idea.

Fat premium, just another way for insurance companies to get richer.

Although it's good for the people to slim down and stay healthy, they're also forcing people to change their life style...

I wonder what they do for people under 45 years old...

Assuming that they don't have a healthcare system over there, wouldn't heathier people be paying less premiums like good drivers do for auto insurance?

Therefore, I would think that insurance companies lose money. Yeah, they would get money from fines for overweight people, but most companies won't allow that to happen.

Just my thought.
