That would be a workaround though, no? Ie, you're sharing this with an insurance company, not an employer. What law(s) would this workaround be working around?

What law(s) would this workaround be working around? Ie, would it be illegal to make sharing this data (regardless of insurance) a condition of employment. I don't mean specific that are covered by other laws (discrimination, medical privacy), just an arbitrary thing an employer might want to know/control about an employee's personal life.

It would also be better PR since health insurance needs your health data anyway, so nothing is changing other than people paying less for being healthier.
