A holiday song from @MLMillenson, December 2019
Angels we’ve heard from the Cloud on high
Or maybe it was Spotify.
Our health data’s floating hither and yon
Monetized by Google and Amazon.
Gloria, in excessive profits
Gloria, in excessive profits
Investors, why this jubilee?
’cause you’ve made us healthy and absent pain?
Is care improved and costs controlled?
Or our data just fuels your capital gains?
Gloria, in excessive profits
Gloria, in excessive profits
Come to Silicon Valley and see
Start-ups whose birth the VC’s sing.
Come adore on bended knee
Promises of health care transforming.
Gloria, in excessive profits
Gloria, in excessive profits

“Hospitals, many of which are increasingly in dire financial straits, are weighing a lucrative new opportunity: selling patient health information to tech companies.”
