Thank God for you.  It's disturbing that no one seems bothered by this.    It's not only NSA - Skype, your ISP, and who knows how many other third parties?     It's naive to think this data isn't going places.  For example, it could be used to determine whether you qualify for a mortgage, home insurance or a job. Not to mention  the fact that it depersonalizes the physician-patient relationship further than it's already been depersonalized. We are taking events that used to be between us and "X" and adding multiple middle men (who clearly don;t have our best interests in mind) to the mix.  This extends to other situations like voting - used to be you filled out your ballot, put it in a box and the only people who handled it were you and the vote counters.   Now our votes go through numerous systems  before they are recorded.  "They" know everything from what time we voted, to how long it took to fill the ballot, to who we voted for - and anyone who thinks that';s not being recorded to be possibly used against us is crazy. I'm sick of people claiming to be about freedom and liberty who cheer when their liberties are slowly being stolen.  THIS is how we're losing this country.  I consider myself a Trump supporter, but moves like this make me very leery about what's really going on - because what's really going on is we are losing our freedoms without having any input. I can see how this might be a good thing for people who live in remote/under-served areas or for routine checks/prescriptions, but they will push for this to become mandatory - and we'll be forced to have our faces recorded and air the most private aspects of our lives into the abyss of the internet. And don't even suggest this is "secure" - was Equifax safe?  Heck, was the federal Office of Personnel Management safe?  Hell no.  I agree with you, Dawg - time to WAKE UP!
