Black Quill has come out with this today:The only way to make people healthier is by giving them a financial incentive to stay fit and at the moment there isn’t one. Car insurance gives you a no-claims bonus. Why can’t health insurance? Why do the fit have to supplement the healthcare of those who will not take care of themselves?
Considering the amount of money people pay towards healthcare, they should get some form of discount for not abusing it like a box of after-eight mints. The same is true of sports clubs. Membership should entitle you to a tax discount of some sort and clocking up the recommended number of exercise hours each month should entitle you to more.
I like it but I’m not an economist. Will you economists out there tell me if this would work?
James - what's your email? Is it listed anywhere on your site? If I send you one, that should unblock you. Very odd as no one else has told me they have a problem. (That sounds too much like the 'no one else has complained' excuse!)
