When using public healthcare resources and anonymized data?

• bomewish 3y ago
  The change in what’s happening is important. The original social contract just assumed it would always be private. Now that’s changing. Possibly if the notion was built in that the public health system would reserve the right to effectively monetise your data… the entire genesis of it would have happened differently. I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m saying changing the rules halfway through means you can’t appeal to the original contract.

    Rules change all the time around tax and healthcare. This is also not about directly monetizing data but to benefit the recipients of public healthcare which is a lot more than just finding revenue sources.

      As said before, there is always a benefit that needs removing the right to privacy, I was not saying it is wrong, I was saying to make it opt in so that people can be part of the benefit by choice if they want to

        Not how this works. If the benefit is better healthcare, there is no way to withold that from people not opted in.
