Where’s your groundwork and rhetoric to substantiate the thread, one of your bad ones Rob. Like to think it’s utter rubbish.

Sorry for the post because this Diabetic site wouldn't let me post a link too the news site and I couldn't  post the article either. 

 

Now I can post the link, Here's the news article. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/major-life-insurer-says-it-will-require-customers-wear-health-n911461

This sounds like an invasion of privacy issue.  If all life insurance companies adopt this, I'm sure there will be many class action lawsuits against the insurance companies.  As it stands now, if someone doesn't like this policy, they can just go to another insurance company, but if all insurance companies adopt it, then the customer has no choice but to accept it, or to not have life insurance.

 

There is no way that I myself would accept this policy....I don't wear jewelry, and I only wear a wristwatch when I go out, then take it off when I get back home.  There is no way that I'd ever wear something like that all of the time.

Not a problem...I'll just strap it to one o' my grand kids.
