Bring it on. Everyone deserves the right to see what is in his/her medical records and to manage his/her healthcare as he/she sees fit. Some, obviously, will not want to be as involved as others, but in general, these files are talking about you, and wouldn't you want to know what is in your file? I personally don't believe that siloed medical files work well, and I want to create my own comprehensive file for each member of my family. To me, that is more important than a security breach. I've created personal health records in Microsoft HealthVualt for me and my children, but I'd like to see what is in our various medical files so that I can make these records as accurate as possible. Seems fair. Privacy is important, but access is vital. Bring it on. Everyone deserves the right to see what is in his/her medical records and to manage his/her healthcare as he/she sees fit.
