Comment on Show HN: Get your health records from any doctorparent

That's interesting that you think about it that way.

I know a lot of people who upload their scanned prescriptions and reports to Dropbox. Dropbox uses AWS S3 to store data.

Do the 3 guys from Oakland use the same infrastructure? I'm not sure. But Dropbox has access to your files.

I can't say you're someone who uploads medical data to cloud storage, so this is a more general question (since I'm sure more people will have these qualms): Why Dropbox and not Prime? Is it Guido? Drew? Those guys are from the Netherlands and Massachusetts respectively.

If there's a security concern, the NSA (and I'm sure other agencies) pretty much have access to everything, and those employees might just be a couple of guys from Oakland.

Note: This is something I can see as a valid concern from a lot of people, so this question is as much directed to the Prime team as it is to Steve.

Update: I wrote Oklahoma instead of Oakland everywhere.

Update 2: They _do_ use Amazon.
