    Health insurance companies currently evaluate your height and weight and calculate your BMI (body metric index) to get an idea of your overall health.

    I have had clients that have had to pay a surcharge (additional premium) due to being overweight and several declined due to morbid obesity. I even had a client declined for being underweight.

    Excessive weight can lead to numerous physical and medical conditions. Some chronic, some life threatening.

    There is no such thing as a healthy fat person.
