Most people are missing that by only making this info available at market rates, rather than as a non-profit, it doesn't benefit the general good/public equally. It benefits incumbents asymmetrically.
Furthermore, by only collecting data from those with excess income, afflictions of the poor will remain less diagnosable.
There will be some trickle-down into poorer people, but if you think it "doesn't hurt to help people get healthier," try to see you're mainly helping wealthy people get wealthy people better. It's a slow-motion form of eugenics. We all know how well trickle-down theories work.
