Neither medical idea is feasible. You don't need 100,000 biologists to sequence every cancer; you need 100,000 Illumina machines (or, take your pick of next gen sequencers). You don't need to scan all old medical records right now. You need a system that makes it worthwhile for doctor and patient to have digitized records. (And I'm not talking about "doctors will get punished until they go digital" as being an incentive. I mean true, medical or productivity-oriented incentives: your job will be done 10% faster; you will be able to identify trends in your patients' disease patterns; etc.) Once you provide the medical world with software that actually improves what it's like to be a doctor, or improves patient care, or both, we'll gladly jump aboard. And sure, you can threaten with payment withholding at that point if you need to.
