It's chilling how casually we have allowed something as essential and personal as a medical device to inform on us to someone we have a fundamentally adversarial business relationship to.

Do the insurance company's intercoms also send you recordings of their meetings so you can check if they're conspiring to illegally deny coverage, or is the spying strictly one-way?



I don’t think this is casual or just “allowed”. The insurance company holds all the cards here. The choice is between getting treated or not for a great many people.
