...The consequence (click here) is that some perfectly healthy high-B.M.I. people might be unnecessarily worried about their weight or penalized by higher insurance premiums. And some normal-B.M.I. people may be fatter than they realize and facing the same health risks as the obese. – ALBERT SUN
The BMI needs to be revisited. It is actually hurting some people with unnecessarily high insurance rates.
The good news is human beings are still unique in every way. It would be most disheartening if the BMI was perfect. When people are evaluated for insurance they should be talking to their doctors and that is possible now with Obamacare/ACA. People should have the right to grieve their results by insurance company doctors. The process is not equitable to the uniqueness of 25 percent of adults.
If people are hardwired to the BMI they will become obsessed with the idea it might even effect their credit rating. It is important we remain human and confirm the fact life is about living and generalizations make for a very boring country.
