HIPAA should burn these companies/organizations. Should.

And then what? Where does the population go for care? Better to have a track record on long-standing organizations that play whack-a-mole.

A doubt the penalties for violating HIPPA are going to put any of these out of business. I said 'burn', not 'destroy'.

Electronic health records have been way oversold. Expecting every little medical office to have industrial-grade data protection makes them far more of a liability than they are worth.

At best mostly subjective observations, at worst full of outright errors, they're largely useless from a health care perspective let alone for research purposes.
