    So its really obvios why sleep apnea testing is a huge thing at Prime. No one wants something like that to happen again. It's devastated a family, destroyed a drivers life, and had serious consequences for a company. BMI has nothing to do with discrimination at Prime, but rather just another step in ensuring the safety of the public.

    BMI is a joke and has nothing to do with the safety of drivers on the road. Someone who is 5'9" and weighs 210 LBS would be considered fat on the BMI. However, the BMI doesn't take muscle into account. Muscle weighs more than fat.

    Well I could have just commented the same boring way everyone else already has and debated whether or not Body Mass Indexing is fair, but what I said made me laugh so I'm glad I chose the latter...
