Now that's a take I've never heard before. It'd be interesting to have an opt-in for sharing your medical history with entities, but there is no way in hell I'd be sharing information that is so easily weaponized against me.

That already exists. It's baked into HIPAA (if you're talking about medical history collected by Covered Entities).

All "medical" data collected by direct-to-consumer products that aren't providing clinical care (think 23AndMe, or third-party services that allow you to book appointments with doctors in a Yelp-style interface) are not subject to HIPAA, so they already can legally collect (and sell) that data without additional consent.


But do you use pharmacies?
