I'm a bit older - hit 65 this year - and am still an avid fan
of Health IT.
When I look at privacy, however, I look for why we actually
need privacy.
The main reason is the insurance industry. There is such
an intensive drive for them to minimize their exposure
that we are past a normal time.
If we were to abolish pre-existing condition and genetic
risk factors in the insurance industry then we would be
able to do so much more. I would love a situation where
people could get a genetic scan, with results used in their
long term health care. Sadly that is not wise these days
as the insurance companies would simply refuse to cover
anyone who "may" have problem sometime in the future.
