OK... Google Scares me Now.

In order to sign up, you give Google authorization to divulge your medical information to third parties. This is knowns as a HIPAA authorization. First financial information, now medical information. Little by little your most sensitive information is now accessible by anyone who has the means to get them.

I suppose soon there will be a Health Rating in the same way as there is a Credit Rating and so you may not be able to say, get a job since your Health Rating may be lower than required because you don't brush your teeth often enough and so may be in risk of heart problems... and the employer doesn't want to see his health insurance go up or even take the risk.

I can think of many other scenarios.
