I don't think this is a big problem. Just wanted to chime in with the opposing view. We already have legal structures to account for people who are unable to provide informed consent (e.g., unconscious person, dementia sufferer etc): spouse, guardian etc can provide consent. This thing will piggyback on that same legal framework. Simply allow multiple RSA keys to decrypt the encryption key. I think this sort of access control would be BRILLIANT. I am quite concerned about random people accessing my health records. Obamacare's requirement of a standardized data storage format will only increase the temptation to datamine people's health records for fun and profit.
