Sounds good but is it really bad?

This sounds like a good neat idea and if it could be used for the greater good like it intends to do then its awesome. However I see this as a tool the insurance companies will get their hands into and hurt people for their own profit potential.

The problem is some of the health Insurance agencies are scum and are turning to looking into every nook and crannies in peoples lives so they can deny medical coverage, surgeries, and proper medication. If they get the slightest inclination you experienced any symptom of having the issue possibly before you became insured by them or it may be related to something prior in your life they are looking to deny you proper medical attention. Its a business and profits are what they are after. They don't really care about any of us when it comes to our health.

I'm not advocating Michael Moore paranoia but recently a buddy of mine was diagnosed with having Diabetes and is having a hell of a time with medical coverage. I wouldn't be surprised if they tie this to his kids someday and deny them since you generally have to give social information to the insurance companies on your kids. The kids when nearing his age will get some sort of canceled insurance coverage because they know at age 40 their father was diagnosed with diabetes and they assume the kids will develop this too around his age.

I almost have to believe if were going to be a nation that really cares about the greater good of humanity we need to find a way to ensure health insurance companies are doing what is morally right not what is financially good for the bottom line.

Maybe we need to have a government run health care system like other countries.

We have people from Canada and the EU here really how is life in a government run health care system? Does it work?
