I tend to agree with you - i'd rather see *something* happen than nothing... at least that way the innovation kicks in. And let's face it, most of the time it IS only the big players that big government organizations will deal with.

After the bullshit we've been through trying to get one of our kid's x-rays out of CUH, anything is an improvement. They appear to think that they own our data. Not only that but we took the kid to a consultant who said he wanted to take an x-ray. We pointed out that it had already been taken but GP forgot to send it to him. Problem would have been solved instantly by HealthVault. My data on my terms, stored and accessed by who I chose. And not a single illiterate HSE staff member who can't spell our kid's name to be involved anywhere. Sign me up!

When the insurance company, through your consultant decides that you constitute a 'risk' to their bottom line, you may loose your coverage. Or a pharmaceutical could target you as a new market. Do you have an allergenic reaction to 'peanuts', want some peanuts Daimen? From a security perspective, this should scare the hell out of everybody, not just because MicroSoft is involved.
