The other beauty of what you just described in your personal experience is this. Imagine if I as a patient owned my medical information, and that if I happen to be travelling, I have—maybe not the microchip under the skin—but maybe I have a credit card with all of my medical information on there and any time I access care, that gets put on that card. No matter where I am, no matter who I'm seeing, my entire medical information, my medications, my care providers, all of that would be available to me. That's a complete flip of what currently happens. Right now my personal records are sitting in different people's offices on paper.
