Are they gonna be "fired" because they can't loose the weight? I mean if the company and government is willing to pay for the medical process for liposuccion and rewarding the mental breakthrough it takes to go through the procedure...than kudos to them.
But if the help isn't there, than damn I send my senscere apologies to those whom will struggle to loose the weight.
As for weight loss in the U.S. it is an option. What I do know is if you go through the medical procedure you can put that cost in your tax refund... tho I don't know how much that helps. There are also some companies here that offer free gym privledges to their employees as well as nutritionists to help guide them to better eating. But it is the will of the employee to use it.
But if it does become a law.....hahaha....than gosh...I might find a job faster.

I worked for a place that gave the gym, nutritionists etc to help them.. also voluntary.
Maybe it depends if the company will be on the new Pelosi health care.
Apparently the American government feels (in HR 3962 SEC. 2535 - the House Health care bill) that losing weight or eating better, no smoking and no drinking, deserve grants and contracts. If we have all this control, our government will reward / punish these entities or individuals based our individual decisions or the hand delt to specific.
Actually you are right... maybe the fitter bunch will have a hand up in the job market... never thought that far out...
