Do you think any/all individual medical information should be completely private? Should public servants need to publicly disclose health issue?

    I can think of at least one real life example you may be referencing.

    However, if we start checking medical records to determine fitness for the job, that opens the door for any employer to do the same, and some of you might not care, but I’d rather my boss not know the contents of my medicine cabinet.

      Yeah… politics over the last few years kinda inspired the question. But also just curious to see general opinions, I’m hoping someone dissents. I’d love to hear a compelling argument against. I will say plenty of jobs do look at your medical history/current status. I had to pass some medical tests to get my job. Couldn’t be color blind, very unhealthy or have a high level of anxiety/low stress tolerance. The last part was pretty much just a can you not freak out when things are really intense list of yes or no’s.
