Obamacare Wellness Programs Good but Illegal?

My company has a biometric test exam that everyone must pass. You have to pass at least 3 of the 5 criteria (at this time) or you are penalized with a surcharge of $45 a month on your ins. premiums. Now our insurance company itself has a "Life Coach" program if you call them 3 or 4 or 5 times and set goals and reach them, then they will send you $200 back at the end of the year. I've never done that...but I should. Thank goodness my wife and I passed the bio or it would have cost us an extra $90 a month for ins.

Looks like the program was put together with intentionally unnecessary aspects. Forced medical test? Pretty obvious that this would cause heartburn along the way.

One of the 'good' things about Obamacare is "wellness". Your company should have a program to encourage smokers to quit smoking, fat people to lose weight, unhealthy people to get healthy, but be prepared to be sued!
