    If you are over weight and feel you have been discriminated against in the past you will not like the future.

    Not to go into a political rant, Health Care program is going to end up financially penallizing over weight people before it is done. As well as smokers, drinkers, drug users, people who have a history of STDs, certain athletic participants, skydivers, racers, etc. Virtually every risk category will carry a "Risk tax" or "Fee" before it is done. Rising health care cost will be the justification.

    I even expect these activities or risks to be grounds for employment to be declined.

    OK let's go with your view.

    Smoking Leads to Cancer, Strokes, Lung Disease, and others So Don't hire smokers

    Unsafe sex, Leads to AIDS, Hipatitease, and other known STDs so No unmarried non faithful persons

    Carbrohidrates lead to Dibeates and other diseases So No sweets for our drivers

    Caffiene is a drug so No Tea or Coffe unless decaffinated

    Red meat Heart disease and other diseases so No Meat eaters

    Low protiene can lead to sudden loss of comnsiousness so No vegitariamns

    WHO"S LEFT:biggrin_2554:

    yeah running around the truck stop is great and good exercise but how many truckers are actually going to do that. Can't say i've seen any in the past. i had prolly rather work out in a gym or exercise room than run around a nasty truck stop.

    Cute idea but a truck stop will only put in what they can charge, or over charge for. And if it is a nasty truck stop, what would the exercise room be like?:biggrin_25513: :biggrin_25513:
