Overweight people could pay more for health insurance if the Abbott government adopts a Commission of Audit proposal to allow health funds to charge some customers higher premiums because of their "lifestyle choices".

DO you support this?

No....not if smokers and drinkers don't.

It's a terrible idea, what's next from the biggest legal rorters around. People who drive to fast, people who drive a lot, surfers, swimmers, people who play any sport, drinkers, idiots - seriously insurance companies are already raking in huge profits for doing very little, saying no a lot and generally being parasites. So no mathewmarklukeandbob I do not support this.
