They are collecting our medical records. I know this personally because an exgirlfriend of mine is a lawyer at Google and told me the same.

I believe there's potential for great benefit for everyone.

I also believe that if my records are used to innovate I should get a cut and get an opportunity to opt in or out. I should have agency. I don't like that I don't.

I still believe that this is, on balance, a good thing.

Notice that your if's are not part of this arrangement. You cannot opt out, and you do not get a cut of the opportunities created. The lawyers are Google ensure they get the benefit, and not us.
