"Name one person you know who has suffered from a severe medical condition who has not told their loved ones."
Any number of friends or random acquaintances who are seeking professional help for psychological reasons, or for cancer, or for something seen as embarrassing ("Hey Mom, I've been pissing blood due to a UTI--turns out you were right not to like her...").
"The world of health data is too fragmented to not be consolidated sometime soon."
Which is fucking scary...the ways that this can go wrong, especially given how ruthless and amoral and short-sighted your average startup is these days, are legion. I'd rather see a model similar to safety deposit boxes with revocable keys than the doubtless ad-driven pharma-sponsored nightmare that's probably being concocted in the Valley as we speak by some MBAs too stupid to know any better.
