Man, I feel sick, lemme check my health watch.
status: unhealthy
Can I receive healthcare?
no
yes, but you have to pay a lot for it

I thought there were devices like this you could buy as a kit and build yourself that were local and private.
Yeh bangle.JS is this I think

Thing is putting the horrific privacy concerns aside it’s not like it’s a bad idea from a health perspective. Everybody being simply more aware of the things their body is doing is immensely helpful on a societal scale.
Problem is there aren’t any devices that are local only or otherwise truly private. Apple stores your data locally on your phone which is good, but there’s no guarantee it’ll always be that way.
Pass a law that protects wearable health data under HIPAA and I’d consider it.

Mandating Americans use 'wearables' for health reasons thats coming from the same party that, when asked to wear a mask during a worldwide pandemic for the public health decried government overreach, claiming it was like living in nazi germany, and even discredited Fauci over his very true claims of wearing masks helping to save lives. I truly cant wait to see what that side has to say about Junior here, gotta keep that same energy right??

No fucking way.
You can’t pay me to wear anything on my wrist even without the government spying. And no way in hell would I trust anything this administration recommends.

Follow the money. Nominee for surgeon general has a stake in wearable tech.
Just like when those scatter machines were forced on the TSA, it's because the person in charge had a stake in the company making them.
My company gave these things away to each employee for some 'fitness challenge' between departments....I never even opened the package. My group was mad at me for not helping win the free lunch or whatever it was .... Until I made them read the privacy policy. Many stopped wearing them immediately

HIPAA data is protected.....until it isn't. Laws change. Especially when companies are salavating to access health data.

Laws don't even have to change if nobody is enforcing them.

Do you have children or elderly parents to care for?
Humans used to do this for millennia without calendars or clocks
-
Or want your food to show up in grocery stores? Or airplanes and trains to arrive on time and safely?
Time is an important safety thing.
I don’t care. The only reason this is an issue is because of all the other expectations we’ve created around time and scheduling.

Laws don't work any longer. Only for poor folks.

Why would every American buy one if they can't afford insurance + medical bills to pay for health care? "Oh look, I'm having a heart attack. Good to know. Guess I'll just keep working."
