My word there's a lot of phone-shaming going on in these comments. Apart from the fact that this is a joke product, you guys should consider letting people use their phones in bed if they damn well want to. It's not your problem.
Screens in bed fuck up your sleep cycle. Don't do that, please.
Not mine. I can barely look at it for more than five minutes before I fall asleep anyway.
Don't book what could be an email, please. Said mostly in jest, no heat intended.
First off, that's a really, really short road to hell you're paving there.
Second, JFC, we're not even talking about hard drugs or motorcycles here. At scale the "cost" of phones are likely a rounding error compared to stuff everyone agrees is bad or high risk. If that is worthy of intervention on behalf of the insurers then you might as well give up any hope of day to day autonomy because surely every other decision is worthy of intervention too.
How would you feel if i would have continued my reckless use of the device? I would surely end up in the hospital again. The wages for the medical staff have to come from somewhere.
This whole mechanism indirectly makes other TK insured people pay for my own recklessness.
If you aren’t for paying to remedy behaviour that someone considers ‘reckless’ then you don’t truly believe in socialised healthcare, because everyone has a different idea of “reckless”, and beyond that, socialised healthcare that doesn’t cover people living life to its fullest isn’t really socialised healthcare.
All you’re really doing is having realisation about your true political leanings. This really has nothing to do with the original topic.
Our bodies have a built-in mechanism to discourage recklessness, which is pain. That is the cost of recklessness, and all adding financial costs does is make people who genuinely do need medical attention think twice about getting it.
