Health Freedom Minute June 1, 2015

Will You Be Forced to Wear a Wearable? U.S. Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, wants the Medicare administration to “encourage wearable device makers … to focus on creating devices catered to the elderly.” Keeping in mind that Congress recently moved to pay doctors for keeping Medicare patients healthy – yes, not for just treating them when theyʼre sick – what could this mean for you? Could patients eventually be required to wear tracking devices as part of receiving care? Would doctors who donʼt convince patients to wear tracking devices get paid less? Itʼs one thing if you want to wear a tracking device and quite another if government either requires it or makes it painful for you and your doctor if you donʼt. Politico Pro Morning eHealth May 15, 2015.
