I have a hard time letting the state amass more data from people.

Well, the state is not some objective, incorruptible entity without any ulterior motives. You end up with something twisted even when you let the state handle health data. The key is for individuals to decide how, where, when and what they want to share and provide enough control and literacy on why this is important. Unfortunately, too many people get lost in who should or shouldn't get some data and miss the point of maintaining one's freedoms.
