What is all this "health data" people are talking about? When I go to a new doctor that has none of this apparently super complicated, dense health data, they give me a single page form to fill out where just about 90% of people below the age of 50 will tick every box with "no" or leave the field empty. |

How does that math work, you're asking? Right now you and I can check "non-smokers" on medical documents. And that's true, at least for me, medically speaking.
However after we fuse all sources of data we can punish everyone. I bought two packs of cigars in the 90s when I was a dumb young kid. Medically speaking a quarter century later I'm a non-smoker from a health perspective. However, from a revenue generation perspective...
Big brother is not going to fund this out of the goodness of their heart to be revenue neutral or (gasp) positive for the public. The only purpose for this expensive initiative will be to screw over the general population even more to increase income inequality a little more and make the rich just a little richer.
