With this corporatist court? You'd be lucky if they don't reverse the ban on using the data for health insurance and all privacy laws at the same time


> reverse the ban on using the data for health insurance

Right now, health "insurance" is transparently a subsidy scheme where the healthy subsidize the unhealthy. I wonder, if "insurance" companies were allowed to operate as actual actuarial net-neutral-EV honest-to-god insurance companies again, which political coalition would get net savings? I could see it going either way. Conceivably, the efficiency gains from having actual insurance again would result in net-positive EV for both sides.
