I agree with the airlines on this one, if they didn't require notes, they'd have so many people looking to get that extra free space. I can't see this impacting the health system too much as I doubt many people are willing to get a note unless they actually need it.
I think you'd be very surprised what actually goes on in a doctors office. The sense of entitlement to health care in this country is absurd, as alot of people think it's their god given right to a huge slice of pie whether they need it or not. Aside from an hour of time, they lose nothing from trying.

Fat people in general don't take care of their health, and just come to the doctor to fix the long list of problems from being fat. When there is minimal accountability for treating your body like an amusment park, why not? And now with the prospect of gaining two seats for the price of one, we've actually given an incentive to get fat.
