Insurance companies have no responsibility to make sure everyone gets good health care; their responsibility is to maximise returns for their shareholders, so what you're saying is irrelevant

They aren't going to have any returns because they're going to exclude 90% of the population from being eligible.Captain Gh3y said:Insurance companies have no responsibility to make sure everyone gets good health care; their responsibility is to maximise returns for their shareholders, so what you're saying is irrelevant

omg was that a serious comment?!?......
Whats the point of having insurance companies if they aren't concerned with providing Insurance to those that really need it .... If they introduce the gentic test, it's just going to further separate the uppper class to the lower classes (as they prob wont be able to afford expensive healthcare).
As Slidey said before: "insurance becomes pointless if only the people who don't need it can get it (or afford it)."

well then that is a valid argument against the test, in the companies' own terms.boris said:

yea insurance should be able to ask for test results. if they make a clause in their product disclosure statement and make it clear to their customers that it is mandatory, then those who choose to take up the insurance will need to provide the results. simple.boris said:
