Probably find insurance companies (among others) backing this so they have a tool to deny claims and/or raise rates.



Insurance companies are always in favor of the nanny state liberty reducing stuff. Smoking, helmets, etc. Anything to reduce their exposure to risk. At least the risk their customers present. If the government becomes the actuary how do we switch companies?

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
