Now it's: no seizures in the last year and off of seizure meds for five years (in my case). Why the hell would I stop taking my meds if I haven't had a seizure in 15 years??? Dumbasses!
Yet, I know people who are on every blood pressure med know to man, obese and can barely make it up a flight of stairs and still have their CDL.

That makes no sense. Stop preventative medicine and hope you'll be ok? That's much more risky for a company to take on. I think you could fight that legally, it makes no sense especially with healthcare pushing more for preventative measures.
