But it has some pretty huge holes in it. A lot of telemedicine services aren't covered by HIPAA, for instance.

I'm not worried about Amazon keeping my data in a public bucket, nor about Amazon employees snooping in it -- but I am 100% worried about Amazon pulling some "anonymization" BS and using my data for purposes other than providing health care to me.

I don't trust Amazon with my less sensitive data as it is -- I absolutely wouldn't want Amazon anywhere near my health data.
