I love the thought of massively exploiting AI for all kinds of things but I don't trust the government and I definitely don't trust Google.

Google already arbitrarily censors and bans people due to SJW butthurt what will they do with your medical records?

They are a zero-credibility company and need to be destroyed.

Not gunna work kiddo.
All non-Obamacare insurance plans have a clause where if you have foreknowledge that you're at risk for a disease and don't disclose it to them, they can deny you coverage at a later date. In other words, this could backfire on you big time if you tried it.

>buy tons of health insurance thinking you're insured

>several years later, you get sick and make claim to insurance company
>insurance company was well prepared for from day one to deny you coverage

also, this is a very valid reason to NOT get a DNA test. Aside from privacy concerns, if the test found anything in your DNA it could disqualify you from all plans for the remainder of your life. It's a very risky thing, knowing if you're going to die of a curable disease.
