Not a good idea. Because like it or not, whether you have insurance affects the quality and quantity of your care. I personally would be extremely worried about what medical care I'd get if I couldn't verify I have insurance - especially if I'm in a condition to need "extreme measures" on arrival.

I have a Spibelt for running. I just keep my insurance card, driver's license and organ donor card in there, and I don't even notice it's there. There's room for a phone, but I couldn't get it to not bounce with a phone in it, so when I run, my phone goes in a pocket on my water bottle carrier.

Cycling, I keep all my paperwork in a small ziploc bag in a jersey pocket (all of the above plus a credit card, my car key and some cash); my phone goes in another ziploc in the other pocket. The phone I just got has a feature where it ties three numbers in the phone book to ICE at the top of the contacts menu. (That way, they keep their regular entry in my phone book, and it doesn't always come up "ICE" on Caller ID whenever they call.)

I don't see how a Road ID is easier than this. More waterproof, yeah, but as long as I get a new ziploc periodically, it does pretty well. And I am concerned about privacy - whatever level of encryption RoadID uses doesn't keep an insider from selling the data, which is how a lot of the most publicized scandals have happened lately. I do realize that giving any information to a health insurance company these days is tantamount to putting it on a billboard, but still, the fewer people I give my information to willingly, the fewer people have it.
