Should the IRS include gym memberships as a tax credit?

If gastric bypass, specialty diets and other weight management tools are tax deductible if ordered by a physician, should the IRS allow a tax credit as an incentive to curb the American obesity problem?

I hope some day they do pass a bill to allow the gym fees to be deductable. Fortunately until then if you happen to be lucky and have a good health insurance policy some insurance companies will help by paying a % for gym memberships already. Unfortunately that may only be true for those who are pronounced overweight by a doctor and not something that%26#039;s rewarded to people who are already maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Here%26#039;s to hoping that the IRS will one day come to their senses and realize that may be what it takes to make this country healthier and live longer.
