> I don’t see my primary care doctor selling my health data
Without overstretching the metaphor, it is quite revealing - you wouldn't see your primary care doctor selling that information whether they are or aren't. You don't have an effective way of monitoring the situation. Nobody outside the hypothetical transaction does.
It is common for that sort of situation to go bad if the economics of selling the data make sense despite the risk of getting caught.
It is revealing: I went to same PCP for the first 18 years of my life and he was incredible as a doctor. He ran his own practice. He was also a great IT admin: he managed his own records, paid to digitize all of them including mine. If he betrayed that trust I’d be sad.
But I hear you. A product just needs to come along that provides some benefit, or the practice could be acquired, etc
