Cutting Your Insurance by Signing a "Tobacco-free Affidavit" - We will see it more and more as we all realize we have a nation full of sick people who don't want to change their lifestyles but still want equal health care coverage. Have you ever taken the time to think about why smokers usually pay the same amount for their health insurance as you do?
It is a change that some insurance companies started years ago and it is catching on quickly. Yes, in individual health insurance one pays for their lifestyle choices but in group or employer health insurance everyone usually pays the same. But now, that is also changing.
According to www.newsandsentinel.com city employees can pay less for their health insurance if they don't smoke but will have to sign a "tobacco-free affidavit" and "the city will perform a review to make sure tobacco users are truthful in their claims."
How the "review" is handled will surely be a contested point among workers and staff alike. And I am sure both sides will argue about why one way or the other is not fair. Regardless, this is the future. Think about other insurance policies such as your homeowner and car insurance. Do we all pay the same amount for car insurance but get to drive any way we want?
