Big brother is watching — your waistline

Politico reports:
Data mining is digging into your health.

Actuaries predict your life span. Banks track your spending habits. Now, your employer can tell whether you’ll have diabetes a year from now.

And the federal government is encouraging businesses to use that information to tell you how to eat and exercise, to “data mine” for your own good and the employer’s bottom line.


Big Brother will not allow market based health insurance but... they want to pester you. Go figure.
