Are you a researcher? I find it alarming to hear this kind of talk, especially after so many have raised the very serious issues that can arise from this being public.

It is not our responsibility to make this public. Your logic is similar to the gov trying to get access to all exchanges over the web to scrape them for terrorism and violent behavior. Maybe take a step back and think about the harms that would come out of this?

There's a group of individuals that have been lobbying the US government that if we got rid of HIPPA, then we could cure every disease on the planet with all that medical data they could now harvest.
