Bloomberg nothing, here's nanny corporation
fascism on the loose. How much outrage will this generate among principled & freedom-loving conservatives?
CVS Caremark, which has 200,000 employees, told all workers who use the company insurance plan to have a doctor determine their weight, height, body fat, blood pressure and glucose and fasting lipid levels by May 1, the Boston Herald reported.
"Our benefits program is evolving to help our colleagues take more responsibility for improving their health and managing health-associated costs," the company said in a statement.
"This is an incredibly coercive and invasive thing to ask employees to do," Patient Privacy Rights founder Dr. Deborah Peel told the newspaper.
CVS said it will pay for the weight, body fat and blood screenings.
"Health screenings of this nature are increasingly common with employer-sponsored health plans," the company said.
If workers don’t provide the information, their medical coverage will jump by $50 a month.
Does CVS pay well enough that its "colleagues" can eat not un-healthy food? Or are they forced to consume the processed crap CVS sells?

We will lower your blood pressure by taking your health care away if it gets too high.

I'm outraged that there even is a CVS Caremark.
ReplyDeleteDiscerning consumers get their drugs from the guy over on Sixth street, anyways.
ReplyDeleteMmm, processed crap.
ReplyDeleteNo Blood Pressure Ed.:
ReplyDeleteIf you've ever had unprocessed crap you know you want it processed.
Close, but we used to score weed from someone on La Brea.
We're outraged that we get Part B (or D, who knows/cares?) coverage from Caremark.
