Anonymized records? Right... Imagine as "they" do, having access to BILLIONS of health records (including dental) across the US, and the trials they could mandate and/or service(s) deny. We’re just beginning to understand the true push for national healthcare and the state's desperate want of such data. The care provider’s budget or patient health cost clearly is of no concern. They (the state) want access to all those doctor's patient notes which are invisible to them today!
And you thought the muscle of Google or Facebook was scary...this is exponentially more threatening.

"The HHS has proposed the federal government pursue one of three paths to obtain this sensitive information: A 'centralized approach' wherein insurers’ data go directly to Washington; an 'intermediate state-level approach' in which insurers give the information to the 50 states; or a 'distributed approach' in which health insurance companies crunch the numbers according to federal bureaucrat edict." http://preview.tinyurl.com/3hgrm5y
