"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.
Well at least Steve Case has experience that is relevant. Once you are diagnosed with something your online profile could notify you immediately - a-la:
"You've Got Leprosy"
or
"You've Got Herpes"
or You've got Renal Failure"
Just like the great job he did running AOL....
