The linked article mentions “things like employee sick days, lost productivity, even the need for extra gasoline … wages … earlier death … disability claims.” They’re talking about societal costs, not necessarily your costs. Frankly, an early death costs me less!

I know that some medical tools cost more for very large or very heavy people than the standard tools that don’t work for them.

How does it cost over $8000 per year for a woman to be overweight?
I’m not overweight. My BMI is in the healthy range. But, I can’t imagine why I would be spending $8000 more per year if I were overweight. The cost of extra food?
