obesity program from Phoenix Cos. insurance apparently gives discounts to customers whose BMI is between 19 and 25 through doctor measurements. those who qualify get reduced rates after 5 yrs if their BMI stays at 19-25. premiums drop 5 percent for every five years that they keep the 19-25 BMI ratio, for a maximum of 20 % after 20 yrs

i don't know about you but this does make some sense in the fact that non smokers get lower rates than smokers.

what does everyone else think?
