    Drew,
    This is a well laid argument. I am in agreement that we should be proactive with health and wellness. Viewing pre-disease just as seriously as disease itself. I am not against insurers knowing your genome. I am against them raising premiums unfairly or dropping you altogether from insurance because of your genome. We all know that you are more than your genome, you are your environment too...... Unless Insurance will move you away from that highway or relocate you to a place with less dust mites etc....they should not be in the game of creating untouchable uninsureds.

    Thanks for the very well written post! And for mentioning our practices and my blog :)

    I think people need a more personal approach when it comes to doctors. I know i have a doctor which takes care of my problems(vimax) and he is so nice. He always knows me by name, he's friendly and i gladly attent every meeting.
