If you say you're under 25 male with a V8 they will effectively class you as a dickhead and charge your more due to risk lol.

Not unless they claim on it.

where do you get a $1 burger lol

Hockey wouldn't do it until he's hit the gym for a few months :lol:

The fat tax.

Uhhhh yeah they do lol.

As a casual employee in tail, I think grossly fat people should pay more for everything. All their sizes are at the back of racks and bottom of neatly kept sizes. If you're quite large and someone helps you when buying clothes, it would be polite to tip the man extra dollar per item of clothing that you annoyingly want to look at or try on (if you're not buying then just leave) :lol:

no one should pay more than anyone else regardless of how they live their lives. Dickheads don't get higher Car or home and Content insurance because they're a higher risk.

Besides, These people are unlikely to have health insurance any way and there for are claiming everything claimable via Medicare. These People don't generally claim on preventative medications or treatments and overall die 10-15 years earlier than their counter parts so do not drain as much as you believe.

Old people who have lived a generally healthy life and have not had any great life threatening diseases like cancer are the biggest drain as they're out living previous generations by 10-30 years.

The fact that you're health means you're more likely to be a drain on the health system than not.

I suspect that's a very small percentage of people.

Re taxing fatty products, you'll only succeed in making life even more difficult for the economically underprivileged.

Why does lollywood want to force his mum to spend more on health insurance?

The problem with this sort of ideological view is how and where do you define the cut-off for "too fat". BMI is a crock of shit (every rugby player and a good chunk of AFL and HAL players would be classed as overweight or worse.)

Makes far more sense to tax the life out of high-risk habits. Tax processed sugars, fried foods and synthetic additives, put some of the profits into subsidising fresh and healthy food to make that even cheaper (and attractive) and the rest into the public health system to cover the burden of unhealthy members of society.

And they should pay more for a second plane ticket. If your stomach touches both arm rests then you should pay for the second seat.

Bit of a gross-misrepresentation of fat people there, but I'll bite.

Yes, absolutely yes. If you knowingly and willingly engage in activies that will cause a drain on the health system , why should you not have to pay more to compensate for this?

Disagreeing with this means you advocate the abstaining of social responsibility.

Add smokers to that list.

Should they pay more or be refused cover completely?

For example imagine if someone is really fat, like whale fat who sits in front of the computer all day from 5am to midnight & never goes outside & doesn't have much of a life. They scarf food all day & choke their arteries etc, does their inactivity exclude them from health insurance considering how much of a drain on the health system they are.

I say yes & they're a pustule on society.
