Yes, Lighthouse,
It's just a question of time. There are already companies that charge their overweight employees and smokers MORE for their share of their health insurance.
And many companies offer health club memberships and other incentives, smoking cessation, to encourage employees to lose weight or stop smoking or get their blood pressure or cholesterol down.
We have very high rates of illness, and very expensive medical care in the US, where most of us live. Compared to many countries our health and health care is inferior and much more expensive.
For most of human history, people lived where EVERYONE knew everything someone ate, everything they did, and generally there was NO PRIVACY.
We are so used to our privacy that we take it for granted, but it is an entirely new concept for human kind.
Between knowing what employees eat and drink, drug testing, and cameras on most public areas 24/7, there won't be much privacy except behind closed doors.
And even then, if what you buy is monitored, and your blood and urine are monitored, how can you hide?
I already get calls from my Medicare Advantage plan making sure I'm monitoring my cholesterol and such, and encouraging me to use cheaper drugs. They offer, every year, to send someone to 'discuss' my health with me.
Since I have a myriad of conditions, not the least of which is Primary Immune Deficiency and costs a whopping $14,750 a MONTH just for my IVIG, you can be sure they are concerned about me.
However,, anyone they send would need a long time with me, so I could educated THEM about Immune Deficiency and all the other conditions I have. It's not worth the effort for me.
These companies and these services are aiming at the person who has no clue that donuts aren't good for their diabetes. Although how that happens in this day and age is beyond me. But it does.
Since we are all too human, we will be eating and drinking and having sex and god only knows what else that isn't 'good for us'. (some of us are doing some of those things, but not all, of course!)
Where there's a will there's a way, I do believe.
I'm sure there will be class action suits and the (in)famous ACLU will probably chime in at some point.......
Am I worried? Not a bit. But then, I practice "not worrying' as a way to survive.
Hugs, Elaine
