If you get mysteriously denied a job, insurance, etc, you won't necessarily know. In fact, since you give out so much data about yourself so often, it's likely impossible for you to know who sold you out exactly or that you were sold out at all.

- ams6110 10y agoIt's not illegal to deny life insurance, AFAIK. And in many cases that's more important than health insurance. If I'm stricken with a terminal illness, health insurance won't do much for me. Life insurance could mean the difference between my family being OK or really struggling.
- bduerst 10y agoI'm not sure how that's relevant on meta data. Life insurance typically requires that you disclose up front if you have a terminal illness, and even if you do they can give you a graded life insurance policy.
