Fat People Cheaper to Treat

Here is a new study:

LONDON (AP) -- Preventing obesity and smoking can save lives, but it doesn't save money, researchers reported Monday. It costs more to care for healthy people who live years longer, according to a Dutch study that counters the common perception that preventing obesity would save governments millions of dollars.

I think that the study just looks at medical savings. There would be additional saving if you consider Social Security payments.
