Opinion RFK wants Americans to wear health tracking devices?

Gutter Chris said:
I'm thinking that if you let health care companies regulate people's behavior on if they deserve care or not than they will absolutely run with that ball.

If they can be like lemme see if what you are doing is likely to cost us any money and deny you based off it they will.

I'm not arguing for fat people one way or another I'm arguing about what health insurance companies are like and what they might do if you let them and what they already get away with.

Are we still talking about wearing a health tracker, and not putting video cameras all over your house? You don't even get much information from trackers, and you're the one who enters the information about food.
 
It would be like wearing a ankle monitor.
Maybe we can use it for Geo-fencing ?

Stop fatties from going to the cake shop.
 
Typical Republican. People are having troubles being able a to afford food, and the Republican response is telling people to buy a smart watch.
Totally in touch with the people.

How dare the Health Secretary give out health suggestions!
 
- I was gifted a smat watch by my brother. I admit, i understand almost nothing about tech. Had to recharge frequently.
I dont see the problem. the goverment already has acess to all your info. Unless you live in the midle of Amazon, they know every step you do. Go do a firefighter course or security guard course? You need to go to police and ask what we cal folha corida here, i imagine that would be some type of record in US, would ned a medical evaluation, all that are online here, so i presume in US also.

Was the user you quoted clutching his pearls about the suggestion, or just commenting on where the priorities of this administration lie compared to where the actual problems are? Because your response seemed overly defensive and misplaced.

The guy from the most famous democrat family who was a democrat himself for 70 years is a "typical republican" for telling people a $40 wristband can help them make sure they're getting enough sleep and exercise?

Pretty much all people understand that excersize and daily walks etc. are good for them. They also know which foods are bad and which ones aren't. They just haven't gotten the motivation to actually do something about it. I don't see wearables making a huge difference. Their phones are probably already telling them to move more.

How is it misplaced? RFK is the Secretary of Health. His priorities should be on health. Now if Pete Hegseth or Tulsi came out and said "hey buy these health products" yeah that'd be weird since that's not where their priorities should be.

It’s misplaced because we don’t actually know if it was RFK making the suggestion. It could’ve been that worm that hijacks his brain at inopportune moments, according to RFK himself.

He was a Democrat, then a worm ate his brain, and now he's part of the Republican Party.

People are having trouble affording necessities, like food, and RFK is out here telling people to buy smartwatches.

Which would you say is more common in the US, obesity or someone starving to death? He's the HHS secretary FFS, he's not in charge of the goddamn economy even if your goofy complaint was true. Lol, sorry, fatties, keep crushing bags of fudge rounds because sherdog lefties have declared it insensitive to tell anyone it's beneficial to monitor your sleep and exercise until he's solved homelessness.

Being fat is one of the worst things for all cause mortalities.

If you think getting a boo-boo while practicing a sport is in any way comparable to being a fat piece of shit who drains the system then you're probably the latter.

I want blue haired democrats to check out as soon as possible from self inflicted means though. It’s a tough duality

How the fuck is encouraging people to use stuff like Whoop, Oura, etc a bad thing?

RFK - "Hey people should try to take control of their health and take notice of any bad patterns"

the left - "Omg literally Hitler!"

Look RFK says crazy shit but this is a nothing burger

It’s just interesting because if Biden’s health chief recommended it, there’s be 100 arguments of how it was a slipper slope to mandatory chipping, and CTs that the health wearables were giving location and audio info to the gov at all times

Regulate me harder, daddy!

That being said, I wish insurance companies could/would charge on a sliding scale of health. You diabetic fat fucking cows sucking down 2 liter colas in the car between mcdonalds drive thrus while vaping/smoking might have some fucking impact on health care costs. You fucking moby driving sacks of lazy shit who wanna talk about "muh genetics" who get winded trying to find the remote control need to get fucking regulated. Only damn exercise they get is fingerblasting their keyboard or doing a bend and reach for their laptop power cord.

Some goddamn government oversight is about to be required.

Great idea and could actually help people.

But health companies might have to word it a little softer than you did in order to implement this.
