Scenario

When families face financial coercion over digital health surveillance

My family signed up for a health insurance plan that requires fitness tracking and app-based monitoring to get affordable rates, but my teenage son refuses to participate saying it violates his bodily autonomy and human rights. The insurance company is threatening to raise our premiums dramatically and we can't afford it, but I'm starting to think he's right that this is coercive and wrong.

More people experience this than they realize.
