It's regrettable because no one can change whether they have such a condition and everyone with such a condition requires adequate healthcare. However, you're right on target with your comment. As an insecure customer, my computer could become infected, my health records stolen, and then I could try and sue my healthcare company for failing to protect them [my records]. So if this is such an obvious, practical (going by the poll) idea... does anyone know of a website that already does this?

Should an HMO refuse to insure you if you have bad computing habits? Your electronic health records might no longer be secure if your computer is infected, leaving the HMO open to lawsuits.
