It is required by obamacare for corporations to encourage wellness among their employees for chronic ailments like depression, hypertension or obesity along with many other things. THAT IS REQUIRED BY OBAMACARE.
Here is the kicker. Keep in mind now, the government enforces both laws.
IF A CORPORATION DOES ASK THEIR EMPLOYEES IF THEY NEED THESE PROGRAMS THEY VIOLATE THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.
So, the corporations violate the law (obamacare requirements) if they do not ask employees if they need this wellness program, AND they violate another law if they ask them.
Exclusive U.S. CEOs threaten to pull tacit Obamacare support over wellness spat - Yahoo News
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Leading U.S. CEOs, angered by the Obama administration's challenge to certain "workplace wellness" programs, are threatening to side with anti-Obamacare forces unless the government backs off, according to people familiar with the matter.
Major U.S. corporations have broadly supported President Barack Obama's healthcare reform despite concerns over several of its elements, largely because it included provisions encouraging the wellness programs.
The programs aim to control healthcare costs by reducing smoking, obesity, hypertension and other risk factors that can lead to expensive illnesses. A bipartisan provision in the 2010 healthcare reform law allows employers to reward workers who participate and penalize those who don't.
But recent lawsuits filed by the administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), challenging the programs at Honeywell International and two smaller companies, have thrown the future of that part of Obamacare into doubt.
The lawsuits infuriated some large employers so much that they are considering aligning themselves with Obama's opponents, according to people familiar with the executives' thinking.
"The fact that the EEOC sued is shocking to our members," said Maria Ghazal, vice-president and counsel at the Business Roundtable, a group of chief executives of more than 200 large U.S. corporations. "They don't understand why a plan in compliance with the ACA (Affordable Care Act) is the target of a lawsuit," she said. "This is a major issue to our members."
"There have been conversations at the most senior levels of the administration about this," she added.

The obama administration is suing a company that is acting in compliance with obamacare. If they do not comply with ACA, they also get sued.
LOL!!!
Again, this is for those of us who pay our own bills, and work for a living. The board left wing morons will have no idea what this means, and so therefore they will not care.
