Do you have any evidence for the extraordinary claim that one fat American causes increased health care costs for a skinny American. Take into account overall life expectancy, variable insurance rates, and fit people that fall off mountains and get hurt playing sports.

Yes, google "obesity health care costs" and read the first 10 or so articles. PBS did a special on it as well.
