How to be enterprising with your illnesses.

So, no one will pay for subscriptions to watch me eat merely because I weigh only 26% of this woman? Only in America--at least she's enterprising with her mental and physical sicknesses.

Different issue, but is there a health insurance pool anywhere that bases my premium rate upon tests/affadavit that I never smoke, take drugs, and have no abnormal health risks, even keeping BMI below government "overweight" levels? BTW, govt. "overweight" cut-off levels are quite severe, and apparently take no consideration for age, gender, nor "body type." Think it's based only on the increased "problem rate" statistics for anyone being over their so-called ideal weight. For some, their "ideal" weight is practically impossible due to having too much muscle. A physician once told me that doesn't matter--risk factor is still higher if you're over (regardless of reason) so BMI cutoffs remain valid. (Most people will decide they are doing well to stay below "obese" definition, forget "overweight" level.)
