does legality of a thing prevent big pharma from doing the thing?
- marcinzm 3y agoPharma is not insurance.
- koheripbal 3y agoBig pharma does not run insurance
- prepend 3y agoThis law is unrelated to big pharma, but I think the answer is “yes, but pharma follows the law.” Or at least the law as they interpret it. Look at the opioid madness and even with that, I think big pharma was being Lawful Evil. Once the law is determined, I think they follow it. Even though they lobby to change it.

- sparrowInHand 3y agoYou actually do not need to ask the insurred ones. You need a family member that is with another insurrance company and conclude from there?
- YetAnotherNick 3y agoAll I am saying is insurance companies could ask and people will happily give their DNA for say 90% discount(which I think they could easily provide). They don't need family members or any other things or any other backdoor.
