I don't really trust the government to build the most secure database around.

Seeing and dealing with some of the data leak issues even coming from the VA...I am sure, to a point we can patch a few things but most of it is up to the actual folks who deal with data systems.

problem is, of course keeping up with hackers who keep trying to gain access and making sure that IT departments maintain adequate security.

Some of the problems I face in my department is that IT is so busy chasing it's own tail that they wind up locking out the wrong people who need access.

heh...

About the health medical records alone: Google Health has their site up... Pretty intense, and has all the info available. Not sure how your physicians will have access to it without their consent. Moreover, the folks that sat on the advisory board are some real "big wigs" in healthcare... So, they have a nice little program on their hands. IDK if I trust Google with all my health information, though... I did not include ALL of it, like my entire vax schedule.
