"Among start-ups active in the field are Revolution Health, a company backed by former AOL Chairman Steve Case."

That does not make me feel secure.

Since no one can guarantee me that a security breach is impossible, I wouldn't rush to put my medical history online.

That being said, load up your favorite P2P application, and search for "health records" and I'm sure someone has unknowingly shared some health information in their My Documents folder.

That probably can be said about a P2P search for "Tax" related items as well. It's crazy what some people share (ie, their 'while' HDDs).

Remember alot of computer users do not understand the concept of folders, how to make them, or that there is a hierarchy. "Local Disk C:" is only for geeks to touch. Its time for computer licenses, just like for cars.
