Got my $50 check for doing the fitness stuff my health insurance wants
If I track my food and exercise (minimal though it is), watch some online seminars, and do a couple of special activities a month, for a period of three months, I get $50. Rack up 10 points, get $50. Just got my first check. And I'm two points away from my next one--just have to watch one more seminar.

They could just lower premiums, but hey, this works, too.

3. LOL!!!
If I land in CCU with coronary artery disease, they're out $50 AND the shitload of money that'll cost 'em. It's almost worth it.

5. I get a $200 discount per year
if I just answer an on-line questionaire about my health and habits.

Not a big deal for me, as Im in pretty good shape.

6. I like this better.
The church pays my premiums. I like getting a check myself. But I'm a self-centered cow.

Btw, I'm in pretty good shape, too, apart from a congenital heart thing that no amount of online seminars is going to help.
