    While I agree in sentiment, why would they buy info that’s not potentially useful?

    – even in the US, I don’t think medical insurers or providers are allowed to discriminate by most self-destructive behaviors, like smoking, drinking …. I don’t know about mental illness but I certainly hope they can’t

    — companies wanting to sell you medical products, such as for smoking cessation, probably do already advertise with demographics they link to smokers, do already buy that data, but are you counting these as medical providers?
