Governmental negligence creates opportunities

[keith.watson]

There is a valid case that we the people are negligent about our health and that many of our short and especially long term illnesses could be prevented if we were. Since we are not required by law to be doing what we can to maintain and to improve our health to the extent reasonably possible to avoid both chronic and shorter term illnesses, however, the governments have failed to enact reasonable requirements to protect us from the pain and expense resulting. Simple exercise and nutrition requirements which are verifiable should be used to help determine whether or not the illness subject to insurance is actually caused by something outside of the reasonable control of the patient. Only in this case can the coverage actually fall under the general understanding of “Insurance,” which is meant only to compensate the injured for injury which is not their own fault. Punishing people arbitrarily for this collective negligence by cutting off necessary medical care in a way which creates profits, however, is not just, and those merely gaming the current legal system and medical establishment to maximize their gain through aggressive and abusive business practices are only exploiting the lack of enforcement of reasonable standards on the insured.
Those who accept their responsibility for their own health are already using digital technology to advance it and to prove both their efforts and their results.  The government's negligence creates opportunities for digital technology developers to support them, and such is a very socially responsible enterprise.  The main question, then, is how much value can we deliver to achieve the goals of developing training competence in the user and generally supporting their health building journey.
