...it’s nice to have help, especially after what many consider gross neglect by Washington in the aftermath of Katrina. Yet there’s plenty of mistrust, not only because of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s blunders—formaldehyde-laced trailers, for example??but also because when you’re the destination for so many mission trips and “disaster tours,” you might begin to wonder if the rest of America actually sees you as fellow citizens.

American health insurance providers, already notorious for their predatory practices, could use similar tactics to preemptively deny coverage to those who they suspect are at risk for a certain disease. And Comcast, one of the largest telecommunications providers in the country, has already...
