Fat Tax

Have you heard the government toting with the idea of taxing fat people? The premise is that fat people end up costing the Medical Services Plan millions of dollars extra because of the "health conditions" that arise due to being fat. These extra costs come from joint replacement surgeries because of worn out joints from carrying the extra bulk, diabetes treatment and a whole host of other conditions that require expensive medicines and therapies. What do you think about the government taxing fax people to help cover these extra costs?
