Okay, so this is waaay late to this discussion, but I wanted to make a comment on a recent blog post from VC Fred Wilson about making his medical record public. Basically he carped that Google Health didn't have a way to make his record available for public viewing. Lots of folks thought this was totally bizarre and couldn't understand the point he was making. Why would anyone want to give up their privacy on such a sensitive matter.
Everyone seemed to miss the point of what he was saying though. This had nothing to do with making medical records public, it was about pushing for universal health insurance. One way to get to a single payer system would be to render the existing system unworkable and one way to render the existing system unworkable would be to eliminate any privacy and/or asymmetrical information. If everyone that ever had a canker sore or bad eyelid twitching were denied care or required to pay sky-high premiums, the current furor over our medical system would be increased ten fold, hastening the day that single payer cames to this side of the Atlantic (and this side of the US-Canada border).
It's hard to see why everyone missed this, cause he lays it out pretty clearly in his post on the subject. Also, I still don't see what's stopping Fred from just C+Ping his record into a Google Doc and posting it online, if that's really what he wants.

ティンバーランド東日本大震災の被災地で山積みのがれきは、復興の妨げとなっている。大津波に襲われた岩手、宮城、福島３県の沿岸部は平坦（へいたん）な土地が少なく、港周辺の仮置き場のがれき処理が進まなければ、港や防潮堤の整備も始められない状態だ。
ティンバーランド環境省によると、３県のがれきの推計量は６日現在で２２６５万トン。うち１５０９万トンが仮置き場に置かれたままだ。３県が県内の施設で処理する分を除く他府県への受け入れ要請量は計３９５万トンに上る。
