Part of me likes the responsibility for healthy life style being thrust upon the insurance consumer, but I hate the invasion of privacy.

Insurance companies are the biggest scam ever devised. Well, other than Social Security, Income Tax, Obama Care, etc,etc,etc.

I rock at OTF. I’d love this if the premiums were lower.

The dirty little secret here is that many life insurance companies are looking for excuses to get out of the business altogether. Premiums have plummeted as the industry has gotten more competitive, and years of low interest rates have made it difficult for them to maintain investment portfolios that can support their actuarial models.

Can you hire a fit, active guy to wear one for you? Maybe he could get paid to wear four or five on each arm.

Omg, I have got to get me some life insurance! I’m wasting a healthy lifestyle not saving $!

Here's what I propose. Let's have ‘tracker’ devices for John Hancock and all insurance companies. On a daily, hourly by hourly basis the payroll of the company, all CEO and management compensation, all vacation time, travel time and expense, and hours worked for all decision-making employees / management will be monitored and reported to all who hold policies from the company (all will have continuous access to real-time data).

There will be ‘goals’ for financial solvency of these companies, costs to the consumers, and the percentages of total costs that management salaries, bonuses, benefits, and vacation time represent as a function of revenues. It will be a ‘fit bit’ for executives, and if they fail to reach specific milestones - determined specifically and exclusively by policy holders, they will receive commensurately less compensation and will accumulate demerits. After a certain number of demerits they can be dismissed without further cause - with no severance over and above what the average of all non-management employees are given as severance packages.
