“I’m starting to hear more and more about corporations tinkering with the health insurance they provide for their employees. A lot of the tinkering is related to
the biometrics of the employees…in other words, stuff like body mass index, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
What the companies will do first is give it a positive spin, sending a message they’re just looking out for the health of their employees. But the next step is actually making your biometric readings part of your job appraisal…because if you cost them too much insurance-wise, they’ll start thinking about cutting you loose and hiring someone younger and thinner.
Think this scenario is far-fetched? Just think about how fast the cost of health insurance is rising in this country.
Wow, aren’t you glad we don’t have the government meddling with our healthcare?”
