I think more innovation, and more information is better, and believe in consumer deciding the benefits and risks of each approach for themselves. Having 6% of Americans with access to their own health information, when 78% of them want it does not seem like a good situation.

Also the fact about a private company getting data about your health must concern us. There is an alternative, http://www.keyose.com/, designed by the doctor that described the first case of Wiiitis, its philosophy is based on total anonymous users. A smart mechanism allows the store of clinical record without asking you any personal data (not even your email). Confidentiality is in such a way assured.
