Again, overweight people are in the firing line. Insurance companies are increasing premiums by up to 400% of the fat. They have always charged more for those who clearly overeating, but during the last year or so the penalties are worse and more people are affected.
In moves to tighten their belts, companies have reduced life limits used to classify peoples weight. This means that those who are simply overweight and had previously qualified for a standard premium, now are punished with higher premiums
