Medical Records opt in/out

[Autocon]

As of today all of your medical records are now online on the government health website. It use to be an opt in situation but from today it is now changed to an opt out option. You have until october to opt out.

Do you trust the gov with your personal medical information online and do you think its safe from hackers?

Thanks for the heads-up Autocon!

I opted out -- don't trust the government one bit at all!

I opted out...

I'm wavering a little...it's a good idea in and of itself, but I do not trust this government at all either in competence (their track record in IT and data security is abysmal) or in motive (outsourcing to shonky providers, selling data to third parties, and releasing private data out of sheer malice a la that Centrelink VS Andi Fox blogger thing last year).

I'm leaning towards opting out atm.

Can someone explain what medical records it is? Is it just what is on file at public hospitals or is it including my local GP, private specialist, etc?

The government? Maaaaaaaaybe.

Individual small-scale medical practitioner office's IT security? Hell no. And... hackers ALREADY target those.

I opted out.
