Would You Subsidize Your Coworker's Health Insurance?

Let me pose a question to you to help you think about your own personal beliefs regarding healthcare reform:

You see your coworkers smoking cigarettes, deliberately making unhealthy choices for lunch and avoiding the stairs to take the elevator. You on the other hand, make healthy choices and invest heavily in sweat equity at the gym.
  • Should you pay the same insurance premiums as your unhealthy coworkers?
  • What incentives are needed to change your coworkers behavior?
  • Or vice-versa, should there be monetary consequences for intentionally living an unhealthy lifestyle?
