This is an interesting twist...the service will mine your data from Aetna claim files..but how accurate will that be...the carrier already has your data the article states so there's no fear in having a 3rd party use it against you...and if you add information the insurer has it too...how about the MIB...and what if you change carriers...well who do you trust, an insurer, Google or Microsoft?

Aetna Inc. is offering its members a new online search tool that connects to easy-to-understand articles, local doctors who specialize in their needs, as well as cost information based on their personal health record and benefits.
The service is a result of a partnership with Healthline Networks, a San Francisco health-technology company that develops software to navigate health searches.Google Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Revolution Health, created by AOL co-founder Steve Case, have all introduced various services in recent months to help patients organize their medical information online.
The new service is already being tested by the insurer's 30,000 employees and will be expanded to as many as 2 million customers by the end of this year as part of a pilot program.
