Think about the people your age (or if you are older than 30 think about those under 25) who you have known and who have died. Relate their deaths to those causes of death noted in Table 2.2. Think about the people you know who have died after age 65 and relate their deaths to the causes of death noted in Table 2.3. Finally, think about the people you know who have died in the age range of your parents (45-65). Is your experience with the death of those you know close to the national data on causes of death. Clearly the national data on causes of death put much of the blame on things we do (driving too fast, smoking, diet, drinking, over-eating, lack of exercise, failure to control our blood pressure).
As your prompt: In thinking about causes of death nationally and of those you know and thinking about your own habits should government (through Medicare and Medicaid) or private health insurance companies be allowed to monitor your weight, your blood (for indicators of smoking and drinking) and charge different rates for people who do things that are either bad or good for their health. ISU has considered charging a lower health insurance premium for people who make promises to exercise with the an accompanying requirement that people making the promise divulge their annual health statistics to ISU. Is this a direction the country should go?
