I honestly think that we are headed down many slippery slopes, all at once.... we agree. i am not recommending social medicine. However, i see at least some type of federal law to prevent a person from not getting medical coverage at premium rates because of an existing condition that may result twenty years out based on a bad gene, family history. uk does have private insurance so you can pick and chose dr. or move to other sources for testing. this is a premium insurance. I believe this is true in Ireland as my niece has some type of premium insurance in addition to the social payments to gov for medical coverage. I assume this opens up private testing facilities and doctors. I doubt any type of privacy laws can keep our medical history private. For example, look at all hacking into credit card history, and stealing of people identities. We are moving so fast in medical discoveries i wonder how future births/abortions will be addressed? In addition to a blood test for marriage will you need to disclose your damaged cells. Will people be informed of conditions they will develop or may develop in later years upon reaching an age of reason?
