This Whitehouse release only addresses data security*, Not data privacy.
Judging from the OPM military personnel data breach, and State Dept oversight of national security emails on Hillary’s private email server, we can all breath a sigh of relief. The gov’t has your back and assures our security.
Not.
The World Privacy Forum finding criticism still stands.
The way the PMI is written, every US gov’t agency as well as US and foreign law enforcement agencies will have access to your health data, and bio-medical genetic information.
You also lose expectations of physician-patient privacy.
Your personal Healthcare information is already bought, sold and shared among 8000+ Healthcare related organizations for “research” purposes.
Look at Harvard Medical’s: thedatamap.org to see the extent of who shares what about you in what’s become a Two Billion dollar healthcare data broker business.
BTW: you have No guarantee that your Healthcare data is anonymized.
Furthermore, Obola’s 09/15/2015 Behavioral Health Executive Order has created an interagency behavioral health database for all citizens.
Happy goldfish bowl.
