Well, one problem I see with this plan is that it is immediately biased against poorer Americans because if it is based on risky health behaviors like whether or not a person is obese -- there are a lot of obese poor people because the types of foods they can most afford to buy is often full of sugars, carbs, and other unhealthy things that can lead to unhealthy lifestyles.

Actually a myth.  Healthy foods are actually quite cheap.

Beat me to it - Eating healthy does not mean you buy the "Healthy Choice" brand meals.  There are is a ton of food that can be put into a healthy diet at an extremely affordable price - and even in a good variety.

Note btw that I do not actually qualify as someone who eats healthy - I am more likely to ask for the extra side of country gravy than I am to eat a salad =P  So its not like I support this to save myself some money - I just don"t expect other people to pay for my indulgences.

Yeah,  a diet of Potatoes milk and lentils actually has no holes in it even if your just sticking with "staple" foods.

I eat healthy outside of fast food, and i end up spending way more per meal on the fast food.
