I don't mind insurance rates increasing for hazardous lifestyles...but I want my credit for good genes. And great hair.lol

And there you go doing exactly what I said you do. If there were troll here it is most definitely you....



Let me guess, they're going to use the cookie cutter BMI scale for this...lol. Instead of bone mass/waist size. Looks like a good way for them to save a lot of money.

Which way are they planning on getting body fat percent? You may not know as this seems to be rumor as of now.

No idea how they are planning on it.

It came down from our VP of Engineering that it would be coming in 2014, that they "were going to start measuring body fat % to calculate premiums"

So we won't get any real details for another 6-9 months I'm sure.

Time for P90X. My friend just lost 12 lbs on her first 30 days while I coach her. She is on her 6th week. Insurance premium should be low soon. Despite her weight, she kicks ass doing climbs in cycling.

I forsee lawsuits in the future for these people.

You can choose to smoke, but some people that are overweight have medical conditions where they cant help it, and simply saying GET ON TREADMILL fatass is just being ignorant.

This and preexisting conditions will cause you to have higher rates. The military has been harping on this for decades along with crazy risk management techniques.

[InuFaye]

This is a slippery slope if we start doing this its gonna get super ugly.

Next they will collude with your auto insurance providers and if you drive an "unsafe" car your rates will go up.

I wonder what the actual % is.

I bet most is because of WHoppers and no exercize.

That in essence already works against you with you credit report/auto insurance. I find that to be bullshit as well.

They already do that. Cars are classified by more than the # of doors.

Why?

They can show a correlation between poor credit and driving history.

I'm not in favor of tying it to credit scores--who's to say they wouldn't correlate skin color if it was legally allowed.

Why is it OK to use sex, but not race/ethnicity?

[BraveUlysses]

Not sure, that's quite the can of worms isn't it?

As a male, I'd prefer it's based solely on your record and and nothing else.
