Weight and Insurance are they related?

Obesity is the major issues in this society. According to the recent survey done by "Centre for Disease Control and Prevention" (CDC), the percentage of obese person in United State has increased drastically. Majority of times the main reason of your health sickness start from obesity.

Weight will decide how much insurance coverage will be charged from you.

Of course they are related to great extent

All of us know that overweight do affects our health insurance options, but at the same time it do affects our life insurance options too. Obesity is something that decides whether to accept you or reject you for that particular policy.

Overweight and illness together with illness creates a major risk factor that insurance companies consider while charging from you.

For e.g. women who is 5'5" and weight between 180 to 240 probably has to pay more than the women in healthier weight/height combination. But in case if the weight of the same person increases more than 240, then it might happen that the person might be denied from the policy.

Since major persons are suffering from obesity, thus they must find themselves with heftier health bills.

The only solution to this problem can be as follows:

  • Low weight
  • Find convenient coverage options
  • Wait for health care reform

Thus weight is the curse to every person. It creates adverse effect on health as well as insurance. The best solution is to get down your health weight.
