    Honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point if the whole thing was a psyop to create a database of future undesirables.

      Conspiracy aside, this will 100% be used to do this in a soft-fascist neoliberal "oh, it's potentially too expensive to care for these people" way.

      I would not be surprised if this data ends up being used in background checks or some distopian shit to keep people from getting jobs or whatever.

          Unlike in the treats tho I won't be able to sneak aboard a space shuttle so as always reality is worse than the dystopian fiction could have predicted.

        We're already seeing talks of eliminating preexisting conditions. Insurance companies would be stupid not to buy consumer data to look for things. The GOP have been wanting to gut Obamacare since day one, which means democrats are going to outflank Trump by eliminating preexisting conditions because "Think of our poor, little insurance mom and pop small businesses!"
