Lobby Your Elected Officials for a Medicare Discount!

Imagine if Medicare/ACA/IRS/Aetna tracked my BMI and then lowered my
monthly premium for staying healthy! "In a letter to staffers, managers announced a $13.33 credit every two weeks for folks who meet a 'weight target' or BMI of 30." We need a national "BMI Appreciation Day", perhaps right after the new "Gun Appreciation Day" on Jan 19th!!!!! For the low-information demographic: Regarding wellness, I challenge all who post to include their BMI. If you do not know your current BMI, and are using up IBM's self-insurance money, shame! BMI here is 30, working on getting to 29. BP at last blood donor appointment was 120/64. (This is a partial re-post from another Yahoo Group) |

Sounds good but low weight could mean that the person is very unhealthy (cancer, bulimia, etc.)? But any encouragement towards less obesity and more exercise would be good for the individual and the company.? I assume that is why IBM will subsidize some exercise programs and have fitness centers at?larger sites.

For a 5' 2'' person that would be a weight of less than 164 lbs as a comparison.

BMI = 25.1? according to BP recorded daily and varies up and down. ?I put the values in a spreadsheet and then produce a PowerPoint graph which I present to the doctor when I have a physical. --- In ibmpensionissues@..., <sbbeaudry@...> wrote: For a 5' 2'' person that would be a weight of less than 164 lbs as a comparison.
