        We must ensure that such criminal acts of privacy violation cannot happen in Europe. This is wholesale capitulation to digital imperialism.https://twitter.com/aral/status/866760379703152644 …

        How much is your entire medical history worth to IBM? About $2.48

        We don't own our medical records. We are just granted access. What stands in the way for pacients becoming owners of their health data?

        Where? Quote from hospital system: "patient's medical documentation is owned by the hospital and handed over solely to law enforcement"

        And if you’d been born into slavery there would be a document saying you were owned by your master. We changed that. We’ll change this too.

        Yup, gotta be quick though. A friend sent his spit to 23andme or something for DNA analysis. Now records on his own DNA are not even his.

        If you want you may always have or see all your documents. If you move to another hospital/physician, they must give all documents with you

        You get a copy, they have the master record. This is use. Ownership is when they ask for a copy whrn you take the master record.
