Unfortunately, digital records will only facilitate health insurance carriers’ ability to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions. My share of my company’s health coverage got so expensive last year I had to switch to a bare bones policy. After 2 months it went up 18%. And I can’t make a medical claim on it for 2 years or risk them denying coverage as “pre-existing.” So, even though I pay nearly $400 a month for health insurance, I have to live with a painful frozen shoulder problem for the next two years. And if I do have to see a doctor, I’ll have to do it on a “John Doe” basis, paying out of my own pocket. Ironically, my ad agency does a lot of work for a major hospital and sports medicine center. While I work with these people every day and I earn nearly $60K/year, I can’t afford the services they offer. When the middle class cannot afford basic health care, the industry needs to take a cold, hard look at itself in the mirror. The next generation of workers will be even poorer than my generation. It only gets worse from here.

In clear, understandable prose appealing both to the scientific and lay communities, Hall gives me the information I need to make more informed decisions as a health care consumer, citizen, and voter.

Wow! This is so interesting and exciting! I’m not in the scientific community, but I think that these advancements are a huge step forward for our health care system. It was nice to read an article that made it seem so understandable and pertinent to everyday life.
Thanks!
