More And More Employers To Charge For Being Fat, Smoking Under Obamacare
Employees may soon be paying higher health insurance premiums for not meeting their employer’s health requirements.
One survey said 40 percent of major US firms would begin surcharging workers who fail to meet health requirements, such as weight loss goals and quitting smoking, in 2014. By 2015, two thirds of large companies are expected to implement the similar surcharges.
Currently, employees at 5,000 companies with such wellness guidelines have to measure up if they want full coverage.
