Sorry to be a ignoramus, but why would someone wish to opt out?

Are you all insane? Imagine the power that the New World Order will have once they can use a swipe card to discover that Mrs Miggins of Great Yarmouth once had a slight allergic reaction to amitriptyline?
Will be opting out in due course
I'm more than happy for my info to be used for my future treatment and for a larger database for medical research etc. - rather less happy if they're selling it to insurance companies so they can charge me more (though, I guess you could argue, that if the insurance charges are targeted at me specifically, I may then paying what I should be rather than an average).
Same here - if I am unconscious in A&E somewhere I would like to think that whoever is treating me has access to my records.Sorry to be a ignoramus, but why would someone wish to opt out?
Should have made this clearer- opt out of info sharing with provate insurance co's, etc, for non medical care uses..
With better underwriting data you should be charged less.
Typical Guardian moral panic. As bad as the Mail. Better medicine and cheaper insurance? Yes please.
It's not a Guardian article, it's not even an article.
Either way, what's the fuss? I quite like that health professionals have my medical records, seems to make sense. If the OP thinks that doctors have time to go nosing through files unneccessarily he is even more of a nitwit than I first thought. What's on your record OP? Paranoid Schizo?
