• Resumen

  • The author discusses the practice of legally buying, selling and trading health information by data brokers, which undermine public confidence. He mentions the growing unease over the growing sale of medical information among privacy advocates and health industry insiders as the entire health care system depends on the trust of patients. Also mentioned are IMS Health Inc. as the leader in the medical-data-trading industry and the need to give patients more control of their health records.
