So apparently the government is suing Honeywell (familiar name anyone? Ahem.) for requiring people to take a wellness exam and charging them extra on their insurance if they don't. This is pretty much what Spot does...only they word it as a reward for doing it instead of a punishment for not doing it. Same thing, different wording.
Not sure why they are doing this instead of just creating a law to stop this, but it will be interesting to see how this shakes out.
