Well at the very least the government would be rewarding positive decisions rather than merely punishing poor choices on the part of the citizen. While I am sure that many of the obese portion of the population - don't want to put the effort into changing (reason why surgery is such a popular option) or they don't want to admit that there is a problem - I am sure there are a large number who would be at least willing to give the programs a try, knowing that the cost is reduced.

I do worry about the cost that obesity is going to have on the health care system in the future and really what the options are going to be. I can only see the issues related to organ donation becoming more prominant in the future.
