  1. “I love gay bars”

    Biff, what was the gay bar in the West Village that you like (seriously)? Is it the Cubby Hole on West 12th that you said is now a mixed lesbian / gay / straight crowd?

  2. “Who are the gayest straight dudes ever?

  3. HOBOKEN ROCKS, are you out there? You should continue to post on the markets. While I agree market timing is bad advice for most people, that doesn’t mean it is not interesting to hear what you’re up to.

    At least you can tell us your weight chart 🙂

    I think it can be done. As I mentioned, some companies have already started doing it with their self-insurance program.

    Just take a look at your home insurance – there are about 10 ways in which you can reduce your premiums by doing certain things.

    As for privacy concerns: we’re talking about private policies. It’s a contract,so I don’t think there are issues there. When it’s a company-provided policy, like in the safeway case, I agree there are privacy issues. Somehow Safeway managed to address them.

    Most importantly, it aligns good business with good health. Just take a look at the obesity issue we have in the lower-income classes (and NOTE: many of these folks are already insured via medicaid). I think one mistake people make in the current debate is assuming that good coverage = good health. Ain’t so, under the current regulations. Align risk and pricing, and I think you’ll see some results.
