    Rising insurance costs Starting next year, Cumberland County will require its employees to meet health-improvement targets to earn a discount on their insurance. Is it fair to charge people higher rates if they are overweight or have other health problems?
    Yes. Unhealthy people raise costs for everyone
     
    It may not be fair, but it will motivate people to get fit
     
    No. What about employees with pre-existing conditions?
     
    No. Who decides what the benchmarks are for health?
