Whoa. I love you guys…but preventative medicine is truly important and your average PCP is not “grifty” and not making money from routine physical exams and normal testing. They are just doing their jobs and saving lives over time. Even if medicine has been wrong about obesity forever, it doesn’t mean that you should be encouraging people to not go have normal preventative healthcare. That is irresponsible and dangerous.
I'm in HR and I could clearly answer why this is with an employer. easy answer!! just ask someone who knows. and we don't do weight or health stuff at my work.
