If you don't mind, why exactly? You're worried the care will get screwed up? Or you worry that someone will steal that data and charge more for insurance?
I'm just wondering about why exactly the paradigm doesn't totally work here. I get that we don't want medical devices failing, but that's different than charting. And I get it that we don't want everyone to have your data. But risking that someone does a data copy vs. reducing healthcare costs seems perhaps a risk worth taking (and it's not like the insurance companies who actually charge us money don't already have it).

Oops...last patch didn't include all the drugs the patient was on, so we prescribed one with bad interactions. Oops...last patch mixed up MRI images, so Patient A is being treated for patient Bs cancer. etc., etc., etc... Our bad...we'll get to it in the next sprint.
