Alabama will place into effect a penalty for obese state workers of increasing their cost for medical health insurance. There are many reasons for gained weight including some mental health drugs. But the danger is it's an opening for the state to move to penalize for high cholesterol even if it is inherited, if you smoke, if you sunbathe too much as a risk for melanoma, to penalize you if you get an STD and seek treatment--all in the name of the state making you fitter, happier and healthier. Remember, the state is trying to lower their costs and how will they handle disabled workers whose health insurance has a naturally higher cost?? http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20080825/alabama-obesity-
