I know this is all seems to be in the very FAR future, however, if we look at history, we can see how government and corporations take control of each of us little by little...perfect example, smoking...obesity...
First insurance companies began charging more for benefits for smokers...all the non-smokers were in favor because of course, it didn't affect them...their claim was that "they" (non-smokers) paid more money for insurance because of smokers...then, it started with obesity...to this extent, my company started this "wellness credits" where if you did X, Y or Z, you got a discount on our insurance...after a couple of years of people praising it, now the company has decided to NOT offer ANY insurance to you UNLESS you have done X, Y or Z...wellness credits...Today we hear of the thousands of dollars that children with autism costs the school districts, the insurance companies, etc...and you don't think that at some point, just like the smokers, just like the obese, adults with autism and/or children with autism won't be forced into doing X, Y or Z or expect to pay more for insurance? or lose it all together unless you take X, Y or Z?
I think that the time will come...just like it came for smokers...just like it's here for obese people...the next fad will be autism...let's make sure we see it coming...and put a stop to it before it's here...
Insurance is a racket. It's like lending you an umbrella when it's sunny and then ask for it back when it starts raining. Insurance is all about trying to get as much money from people as possible and then when they need that money make up as many excuses as possible to deny them money. "Insurance" companies are not out to supply real, honest insurance, they, like all corporations are out to maximize profits.
