If all health care providers were to get behind one of these solutions and integrate their systems with it, then we could see a major savings in health care costs. The reduction in cost is likely to continue the momentum and sooner or later, everyone’s health records will be online. The think the only question is would you rather have one of these companies or the government holding your health records? And given that option, the companies will win.

It brings to mind the image of handing in a job application and having the hiring manager an online search and say "Sorry, lady. You had mono when you were 16. You're not up for the job." Eek. Thanks for bringing this issue up. This is absolutely creepy. It brings to mind the image of handing in a job application and having the hiring manager an online search and say “Sorry, lady.
