If you're talking about health or life insurance, I'd agree. If
you're talking about aircraft insurance, I'd disagree. I've never
signed a release for my medical records (nor would I) to an aircraft
insurance company. Since the advent of HIPAA, there are pretty strict
rules about the release of medical records.

Being an inusurance company, they could probably look at your records
by peeking through the backdoor, by way of the MIB database. But they
couldn't do much with the info since they would have accessed it
illegally.
