Nnnnnnah, I don't want claims to be public. There's no real way to anonymize claims. e.g. someone getting specialized immune therapy in west virginia is pretty damn identifiable. Or someone being paid out in a claim of 300k+ for some highly specific antiviral.

> I don't want claims to be public. I don't think you realize this already happens. It is already available to hundreds of organizations, both domestic and foreign. Any organization can license it really at a price. What I said would only democratize it, also mandating an appropriate level of anonymization which is currently inconsistent or missing. Also, think of the bigger picture, of the clues such data will yield for advances in healthcare. > someone getting specialized immune therapy in west virginia is pretty damn identifiable. Yes, despite the best anonymization, some can still be identified, but it will take significant effort, and be limited to a very small number of people, like the one in WV. Overall though, the ratio of benefits to harms from transparency would exceed 999:1.
