A response to Michael Millenson’s holiday song
Angels seeking Clouds to buy
But healthcare’s not like Spotify
My health data’s here and yon
Monetized by Amazon
Gloria, in excessive profits
Gloria, it’s excessive net cash flow
Investors, why this jubilee?
You’ve done naught to soothe our pain
No care’s improved nor costs controlled
My data just fuels cap’tal gains
Gloria, in excessive profits
Gloria, it’s excessive net cash flow
Silicon Valley come and see
Start-up births thy VCs sing
Come invest on bended knee
But health care’s not yet transforming
Gloria, such excessive profits
Gloria, just excessive net cash flow

As I said on Millenson’s post:
Seriously, did you see this last Wednesday?? This is straining the limits of polite vocabulary that my mother taught me for so many years. I mean, JMFC!
“Hospitals, many of which are increasingly in dire financial straits, are weighing a lucrative new opportunity: selling patient health information to tech companies.”
