Point 2 - Everyone also should have access to other exigencies in life, such as groceries, a free apartment, free entertainment, free church, and so on. You are getting picky asking for medical data that is locally maintained and secured. I learned very quickly that the only way free charts could be maintained is to have patients physically keep the charts themselves. Otherwise, no one really cared if they were lost or filed correctly, as their work was a gratuity to the patient who really didn't appreciate it anyway. I still encourage patients to keep many of their own records in private practice, encouraging patients to keep their own records of tests, operations, etc.
Patients tend to care more about their data than anyone else.
Unfortunately, the greatest use of medical records nowdays are to serve lawyers. Much of what is found in any hospital or clinic chart is totally useless information. I guess you want to make it a patient right that we keep that useless information for the lawyers to sue us if God ordains something go wrong in the care of a patient. Point 3 - public health issue. Polio was in decline before the polio vaccine ever came out.
