I would disagree only on this:
Medical insurance costs are quite high. As long as people expect their employer to pick up part of the costs of medical insurance, those employers can set any standards they choose.
It is not necessarily illegal for a company to discriminate for any reason... and obesity is definitely up there and justifiable for reasons of representation of the company.

This is why I think employees across the country should be telling their employers to stop providing their healthcare, and instead pay them in cash on their check what they WERE paying for healthcare added on to their salary or hourly work.
Insurance companies will start providing cheaper individual insurance if the market starts to re-emerge. Right now corporations are dictating the market, monopolizing not only jobs and production in the U.S., but also the medical insurance industry through buying power and market share.
