I think there is a difference between having your medical data accessed by some Bulgarian cyber mafia and having it accessed by Google. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think my data in the hands of Google would be more harmful to me. I mean, next think you know my health insurer in some not very developed country that I have to move to for work, comes to find out about my past medical history and raises my premium and deductible. I find it more plausible that they would get the information from Google than from some shady Bulgarian cyber mafia.

> I think there is a difference between having your medical data accessed by some Bulgarian cyber mafia and having it accessed by Google. Not if the Bulgarian cyber mafia hacks Google to steal that data. Okay, Google has super-ultra security and it's never been hacked (a false statement), but even so, how many companies have Google's security? I think you can barely count them on one hand. I completely expect drug cartels, for instance, to hack into organizations holding user data any time they want. If Google is easily allowed access to this data, then a dozen other companies with much weaker security will also be allowed access to it.
