The US state of Arizona wants to charge overweight citizens $ 50 （325 Yuan） annually if they fail to follow their doctors' advice．People with children or who are overweight because they suffer from a medical condition would be exempt （豁免的）．

If the idea is approved by Congress, smokers and\（糖尿病患者） who fail to stick to a healthy lifestyle will also have to pay．

Medicaid, the organisation which provides healthcare to the poor in the USA, costs the government $ 339bn （2．2 trillion Yuan） a year．Monica Coury, assistant director at Arizona's Medicaid programme, said that this proposal would ask people to give something back．

She said that Arizona would take a carrot and stick approach to the problem．As well as penalising people who go against their doctor's wishes, incentives would be offered for following advice, possibly a keep-fit video．
