I think a 50% surcharge on their premiums is reasonable. Or, as Delta will be doing, a flat rate, monthly surcharge of several hundred dollars will change some minds.


If a surcharge is the plan, go ahead and add a big one as well for obesity, diabetes, nicotine, alcohol, not getting a flu/shingles/pneumonia/etc shot, cancer, high blood pressure, and every other disease where there is often free will involved, at least in part. It's a slippery slope when you start judging other people's actions.

You must not know paddler very well. He's all in for punishing everyone who doesn't live the way he wants them to. He'd even kill you over it.
