You're a free market guy. What would you say about insurance companies deciding they'll only cover people who release all their data to them.

Now I don't have a choice to release my data, do I? (since I'm forced to have insurance)

How do I know what my doctor does with my electronic data? Legally, I have some assurances. Except we now know how much these legal assurances are in the electronic domain.

This is soft paternalism. Freedom is being able to smoke a cigarette in your car with your 2 mo. old daughter in the back waving your middle finger at any holier-than-thou puritan who has a problem with it.
