If you plan on working in a government job in the state of Alabama, you better plan on signing up for Jenny Craig, if you are one of the corpulent,or else it could cost you.
Apparently, the folks in charge are mighty peeved about having the reputation of being the state with the second largest number of fat people. Since obesity is blamed for many illnesses, the state figures that their overweight employees are the cause of them having to pay so much for health insurance.
Those who continue in their fat and feisty ways will be forced to pay an additional $25 per month for health insurance. To avoid this, overweight workers have to agree to get weigh-ins and health readings on the job.
Evidently, the powers that be in Alabama seem to believe that a little public humiliation is all it will take to get their more hefty employees signing up for the gym and eating salads, but not everyone is particularly happy with their extreme approach.
The state is also charging unrepentant smokers extra moolah for health insurance, too, so, if you're a fat person who chain smokes, maybe you better move elsewhere to get a job.
