This is a great outcome. These types of data interchanges ossify innovation and lock in policy. Insurance is supposed to share risk -- there is too much noise to microsegment. "Big Brother" doesn't have to be only a government, and the outcomes of using this sort of information is solely punitive for a 3rd party forced into the interchange.
The US really needs to strengthen the legal foundations for people's right to privacy.

That's at odds with the even higher (current) goal of "Make money". As long as those are at odds, entities in the US will always favor "making more money" above "people's right to privacy".
Or, people start preferring entities that aren't strictly for-profit, but seems unlikely to happen on the short-horizon.
Aye, but they already made money from the consumer. Ergo this is extractive after the exchange.
