Yesterday I informed our readers that, as part of the Google Factory Tour, Google had announced the launch of Google Health. This service from Google will enable users with just a Gmail ID to sign in and store their personal medical records that Google can share with user selected organizations and individuals with explicit user permission. However, since the horrendous loss of the AdWords Data, there is considerable concern over Privacy Issues and many users are reluctant in using the Google Health service.

In a discussion in a thread at Search Engine Watch, just about every participant is against the idea of Google Health. Here, read some of these posts and you'll get the idea.

“I don't want google holding my health records.”

… ummm well they LOST adwords data, who's to say they won't accidentally come out with an ad one day with your name, your high school substance abuse problems, mental record, genetic defects – CLICK HERE For more info on Bob Smith!!! (forgive the horrid "CLICK HERE", you get the point…)
SERIOUSLY, who's signing on to this?”

Well, everyone has their own opinions, so its up to and foremostly to the trust that you have in Google. Be smart and make a wise choice.
