I agree. Medical data must not be free in any way, shape, or form. It would only be used to drive up the price of delivery in the form of fatter profit margins.<p>&gt; &quot;Otherwise, due to market forces and financial constraints, your data will be turned against you before anything else&quot;<p>Currently, it&#x27;s using &quot;manufacturer coupons&quot; for meds, given out at your doctor&#x27;s office and then filled at your local Rx to skirt around HIPAA. Each one has a unique serial number for a reason.<p>Research data, on the other hand, must be more free - but there are no standards for anonymization of patient data prior to release.
