No one asks that because the answer is obvious.
I don't mind the government, or a non profit, using data (in an anonymous and transparent way) to benefit the health of everyone. But giving such personal data to a for-profit mega-corp, whose own processes are opaque and unaudited, is criminal.
- DennisAleynikov 9y agoWhat is the obvious answer? It's obvious to me that my ailments and sickness aren't unique to me and there is no point in claiming they are. While bad actors can cause social damage with leaking healthcare details that points more to the issue that healthcare is taboo in society. Security through obscurity is no way to live. Healthcare is obviously not personal, it's something we're all in together. Turning healthcare into a me vs them survival game isn't healthy but is the current capitalist solution.
