High blood pressure, obesity, alcoholism, and other conditions, that Indiana firm says, will be charged on the same la carte basis.<\/p>\n<p>Some workers and unions have objected that employers have no business regulating employees\u2019 off-hours behavior. Other commentators, however, insist that it is in the employers interest to have a healthy workforce, and that it is within the rights of those employers and society at large to use the market to discourage bad habits.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing of your background in economics, your employer has asked you to write a 500-page white paper addressed to her in which you advise her what position the company should take. Should the company establish a policy of differential premiums for lifestyle-related risks to health? Should it adopt a hands-off policy on an employee\u2019s private behavior and charge all employees the same premium?<\/p>\n<p>Your employer also asks you to consider this question: Would you have a different position if the costs of health insurance were borne by the state, and not by the company?<\/p>\n<p>Please cite some recent article from the Wall Street Journal to give specific weight to your argument. Regardless of your position, it will help your case to have a handle on healthcare costs overall, as well as the costs of illnesses that are presumed to be lifestyle-related. Please be sure to include such figures in your argument. On another note, you will save yourself loss of points by properly distinguishing between \u201chealth care\u201d as a noun and \u201chealthcare\u201d as an adjective.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burdened with ever-rising costs of health care, American employers are increasingly requiring their employees to make lifestyle changes or pay extra for them.
