BMI isn't a great indicator of obesity, in fact many healthy people register as "overweight", or "obese" due to being tall or having a lot of muscle. (Muscle weighing more than fat).
With that said, there are obviously a lot of legitimately fat people out there. A lot of those people are too lazy or stupid to get skinny or even know how to get skinny. The programs outlined will help them learn about nutrition and exercise. Plus there are fat people who have weight problems due to health issues- such as diabetes and thyroid problems- that have nothing to do with gluttony. The checkups will also help them to fight what is really causing their weight issues.
Fat people do cost health care more than skinny people, so I can see why they would be charged more. I just hope that the state of Alabama uses an accurate measurement of how fat people really are.
