Yeah, as much as I hate fatties this really can't work. You do NOT want a bunch of (likely fat) bureaucrats deciding what is and what isn't "unnecessarily self-inflicted. "    You know, I hurt my back because I did something stupid while lifting. Insurance partly paid for physical therapy. It could easily be argued that I made the choice to lift and it shouldn't be covered at all. And don't forget that we're too far gone for something like this anyway.  Half the population is straight up obese, anyone who suggests something like this will never get elected.
