Health records are not a good metaphor
Medical record are like a giant earhorn (how they listened for planes coming over the english channel)
Radar disrupted the earhorn industry
2. Health is not like other data
Consumer data

Progressive – 4 behaviors risky driving patterns. Swerving, hard braking, driving midnight to 4am etc…
Put a monitor device and you do not do it then get 10-30% discount
We have a consumer genome
quantitized self
everyone anonymous for 15 minutes – clay shirky
get a usable copy of the info
