This information will only be used to cause harm and bring misery to people when they need help the most.
I have private medical insurance through my work. Last year I made two claims, which were covered by the insurance company. However after the second claim they sent me a letter requesting access to my medical records. Obviously I told them to fuck off as they're an insurance company and have no business poking through my medial history.
This data probably shouldn't ever exist, but if it's going to, it should be anonymous.
Going to see if I can opt out ... somehow.
- christoph 13y agoYou can. I did. http://medconfidential.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/caredata_trifold.pdf http://medconfidential.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/careda... "Once uploaded, you will not be able to get this data deleted by the HSCIC. So if you want to opt out, you need to act now"

- Angostura 13y agoThis information could invaluable to the medical research community as a whole and shouldnt have any adverse consequences for individual patients if suitably anonymised. Currently I don't have sufficient information to judge whether I need to opt out or not so I'm withholding judgemeny.
