The average US male has a body mass index (BMI) of 29 and eligibility in DC starts at 25! There is no scientific basis for this at all. https://t.co/FMzLBEBVp1 — PolitiTweet.org

So, >50% of DC residents would qualify based on the weight criteria alone. Add in criteria based on other conditions like smoking (how is that defined or verified; do ex-smokers count?) and there's basically no prioritization at all. https://t.co/xP17qAbJ6G — PolitiTweet.org

If you're going to open it up this widely, then just go ahead and open it to everybody. Don't create weird incentives for people to either undertake unhealthful behavior (put on pounds, start smoking) or have to fudge about it. — PolitiTweet.org
