I think the issue is the fact that Google, the epitome of faceless/impenetrable data capitalism, is now holding my health records.

  You're certainly entitled to that viewpoint. The point is that: "Google's harvest of medical data includes names and full details of millions" is hyperbole, when "Google partners with health system on clinical documentation research" is more accurate. I'm a proponent of more consumer control over their data, along the lines of GDPR. You could, theoretically, request that your covered entities give you a copy and then delete all of your records from their systems at any time. Which for consumer data Google already gives you the option to do so (e.g. takeout.google.com)

    "takeout.google.com" Interesting, never heard of that. Where's the delete button? Of course, I can't hit delete all, because I have no alternative to an Android phone other than Apple.
