Once most of you are out of HS you will realize that.

when you stop working at mcdonalds and get a real job, you'll know most fortune 500 companies offer plans that cost the same for everyone depending on the plan they choose, and that plans for 2004 are more expensive due to rising healthcare costs.

Nothing wrong with a friendly motivation to start losing the pounds. :)

Well, it certainly motivates me to want a short lived upper body workout.

Ummm... ok. First off Ive never in my life worked at any fast food restaurant. And I have had health and life insurance through my employer(s) over the past 10+ yrs of my life.

I'd also like to point out to you to check the # of americans that receive their health and life benefits from a "Fortune 500" company, versus smaller mom/pop shops or self-employment.

By that logic, so should smokers, drinkers, motorcycle owners, rock climbers, rodeo clowns, and gay men who are residents of Wyoming.

yeah, them too. higher risk should equal higher pay. that's the way it is in the auto industry and no one complains about that.
