Exactly and there is a big difference between being able to step back and make a practical observation from a financial point of view for the stability of a corporation versus what someone would like for themselves on a personal level.

These insurance companies have actuaries and financial analysts who are obviously starting to crunch the numbers and figure it is cheaper to let fat people stay fat than to pay for a surgery that can have a high failure rate
