109. My health insurance co. wants my personal health profile. Not.

Sat Jun 8, 2013, 09:58 AM

Jun 2013

It makes me think about what you're saying: They want a dossier on me so they can wedge me out of the good insurance pools, or worse. They might want to tag me for future denials of coverage. I worry that I can't ever fix mistakes in their data base, too.

So I ignore their "requests" for my personal health information. They already k now too much about me through my do visits and Rx history. IF they're not happy with that, what the hell do they want with more info????

They never explain "how" telling them my history helps me.
