See original post for new information on medical data "sharing" wanted by tech giants.
Not surprised.
But this - "The Obama administration’s involvement in healthcare I.T., Healthcare.gov, is considered one of the great technological failures of our time."
What a stunning piece of disinformation that sh*t is!!!
The Progressive-Fascist bastards that spawned that Unconstitutional (despite the sayings and legislative re-write of The Dread Traitor Roberts!) and Un-American abomination had both ends covered! If it was cemented in place they would have the craddle-grave control over the delivery of health care and it would be a matter of when not if they took control of the whole enchilada with government single payer! The medical records of every soul alive and yet to be born would have been theirs. The natural progression would be the immediate removal of 2A rights for anybody breathing before a shrink or deemed impaired in any way by any physician. Then it would eventually come to the treatment of those deemed worth saving and the rest being euthanized. Others would be medicated and left to die. It would be forced sterilizations and mandatory abortions of those classified by the state as unfit. It would be their realization of the worst that Sanger and Hitler and Stalin could bring to society.
Since ObamaCare imploded under the weight of skyrocketing premiums and mountains of regulation and massive public opposition...the Progressive-Fascist forces move on to Plan B - DeepState Social Media/Tech takeover of data. The once privacy-rights conscience liberals not skipping a beat in their quest for total control of humanity.
This is an obvious move.
So far in my outfit I have not seen this materialize behind the scenes, but I cannot rule it out entirely. We contract a handful of outside vendors for analytics for various purposes, some more than others...and while the data shared for internal improvements in performance in service, cost and profitability do not contain the context of patient status, the raw data is there and some inferences could be drawn at a detailed actuarial level for a broader population-based extrapolation. Is it being used like that and shared with anybody? I have no idea. The skeptic in me says something is already being shared...just don't know how much and with whom.
Anyway, such a grand national overreach of the kind envisioned by the statists cannot under any circumstance be tolerated or it becomes an embedded foundation of direct tyranny.
