The world is not getting smaller, just more connected (Globalization)
Reducing the cost and time of communication to zero
Individuals are connecting directly to the world on information, knowledge, history and everything. (Corporate Knowledge Bases are so passé.) Open Source & Collaboration!

Drug companies sell globally, for use in people, pets, plants and plastics
Back Packers to Baby Boomers travel, overseas workers, Volunteerism, relatives & friends are overseas. The 6 Degrees of Separation Rule needs a revamp.

Parochial Governments can never deliver an effective connected medical record system.

Just create a Google email style account and allow individuals to maintain all medical history – prescriptions, test results, xRays, Referrals... Then sell it to Google.
NB: Google already have one but it is built as a PC style application, rather than an open source social media application.

I asked my GP if Fish Oil (Omega 3) could repair blood vessels >> His answer “Who knows, they come out with new knowledge, faster than anyone can keep up with”.

eHealth: Doctors can’t do it, Governments don’t want to do it much, the Drug companies want to do it too much. Only the individual really needs it..
