Being rewarded in the form of cheaper insurance for being active is great. I'm all for it despite the creepy factor of having such personal information pushed to insurance companies. As long as one can opt in or out, I don't see a problem.
No, this poster is in touch with realty. Insurance companies are in the business of collecting as much money in premiums as possible while paying out the very least in claims. It's known as profit. Shareholders like profit. That's why they buy stock.
TC may bellow to AAPL owners at the annual shareholder meeting to get out if they want ROI. Theatrics. He'll sell your liver if you make it available. Profit. It's the entire game.
Not often I say this, but thank goodness for the NHS in the UK.
We're paying it somehow, Taxpayers pay. Money doesn't grow on treas![]()

The point is, the excuse will be "healthy people will pay less" whereas the real reason will be to make the others pay more. It's like a cell data plan that would cap the 5 percent who use the most data. After a while, a naturally occurring revolving movement would appear, so everybody will pay more.

I don't think Obamacare permits that in the U.S. due to the rule about preexisting conditions. (http://obamacarefacts.com/pre-existing-conditions.php)
as long as the iAnalProbe is not mandatory...

which is very true, thank goodness. However I think that they can drop you if the behavior is not consistent to the insurance policy (for example, you have a heart condition and eat fries every day).
I don't live in London. There post a monthly policing report with various crime-stats by our post office, the highlight of last month was various gnomes being stolen from back gardens. It wasn't me!
Yeah, like we are going to see one dime of that 30%
"sorry we see that you havent worked out using the health app 2 years ago on a monday. therefore we regret to tell you that we cannot cover your bill"
greaaaat things to come. oh well i am not an us citizen so health insurance is all good
And thats exactly right..something like this will be explained as you getting a discount or some kind of benefit by using it, but actually the insurance companies which like to never pay if at all possible would use this to find any reason to use the information against you. Lets not forget that the healthiest of people can get any number of health issues. How happy would you be if you took care of yourself and wound up with some kind of issue that the insurance company decides is somehow your own fault?It will eventually be a requirement so that insurers are actually tapped into your biology. They'll know if you're skinny, fat, infirm. have diabetes, or any other malady. Or whether you're the slightest inkling to getting any maladies.
