It's expensive to retain smokers and overweight employees due to health care premiums I would suspect. I don't fault Weyer as an employer for purging his payroll of high risk employees who aren't willing to take steps to improve their health. I'll tell you what I'm tired of, people who are generally unhealthy due to smoking and eating too much collecting federal money for their health care. I'm tired of paying taxes to support this growing segment of society. I don't think I'm alone here.
