This is simply a question of ownership and control. If you own and control your medical data you can simply share it with medical practitioners when required.
With the current system on the other hand I have very limited control over my medical data, if at all.
Sure, when receiving results on paper I could throw away anything I "don't like".
However, I have no control over what records my GP, a hospital, or my health insurance provider keep about me. I can't see them. I can't have them amended or deleted.
