Nope that is not a typo. I am not talking about the "Flat Tax"; I am talking about an obesity penalty. State employees will now have to be screened for a BMI or body mass index to prevent their Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance from going up $25/month. So if you are overweight, be prepared to shell out an additional $300 a year. Here is an article from webmd that discusses the controversy.

Some are saying that for many, this amounts to a penalty for genetics. I think it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
