I had to go to urgent care a few weeks back and my sister, unfortunately, trusted google (maps, that is) with my health. Three defunct (and derelict) urgent cares later, we were quite unhappy/in massive amounts of pain. Okay, not really the same thing. BUT I haven't really trusted google since. I feel like if there's one thing they should be keeping excelent track of it shouldn't be where the new Starbucks opened and it should be keeping better track of which clinics haven't existed in 3 or 4 years. PS. Also, some how the Health Insurance companies will use Google for evil. They use everrrrything for evil. I certainly would not trust my health to Google.

And why, in the wake of the dismal history of the confluence of corporations, governments, and personal privacy (see, for but the latest example, Yahoo's recent selling out of Chinese dissidents), would you trust Google to be virtuously dispassionate keepers of so much juicy and potentially valuable information?
