The company may claim that they’re new policy was made to protect seniors but WE know better and so do folks over seventy. They are responding to statistics that show seniors require more service or have a higher rate of return than that of younger customers. There will be a growing trend to deal with rising age and dementia as time goes on. The issue is heating up hear in Florida (Heaven’s Waiting Room as they say) as more and more accidents involve seniors, or as they become more susceptible to scams.
What is going to be the trend is that annual testing and certification for a variety of incapacities will begin to split the community and their ability to mount a force to defend them selves. Medication securitization as it relates to cause and effect will even supercede Medical Privacy laws. Using a verifiable medical certificate (not just an eye test) will be the only way to get or renew a driver’s license or enter into a binding contract. As seniors spend more time with doctors, those records may come back to bite them in the rearend.
Some folks now are using alternative medicine to keep themselves away from prying eyes, where no medical records need be kept or insurance need apply.
It’s been great to have someone else pay for medical coverage through insurance, but insurance companies have the biggest teeth of all. Insurance companies will be the final Arbitrator of independence for an ever-aging population who find themselves depending on it more and more as time goes on. A senior may in the future need to buy an insurance policy to purchase items that companies may find to costly to sell to them, I’ve heard that argument made already and it may come to fruition in time.
