NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, allows its data to be freely used by by The Weather Channel and news organizations so that people can stay informed about their local weather conditions. So, too, could we use the data gathered by HHS to make informed decisions about which hospitals we use, what neighborhood we wish to live in, etc. Statistics on local health outcomes could even affect property value, just as school district ratings already do.
