- zaptrem 1y agoThe “payment” can come in the form of lower rates, with penalties if you stop.
- const_cast 1y agoWe already do something similar with smoking cessation. They, essentially, pay you to quit smoking. The social difference is that we frame smoking as an addiction, and smokers as victims of the Tobacco industry. But we frame obesity as a moral failing. So, the former we're ready to jump in and help. But, the latter, we are much more hesitant. Theoretically, economic outcomes would override these social and moral effects. But leadership is often stupid, so we'll see.
