| Sumario: | The article focuses on the implications of the current political movement toward deregulation in the American health sector, particularly regarding the roles of privately and publicly held data. It argues that while private data sources can provide detailed insights into health issues, publicly held data are essential for broader public health questions and maintaining trust. The authors highlight concerns about data quality, transparency, and selection bias in privately held data, emphasizing the need for independent validation and methods transparency to foster public trust. They conclude that both data types are crucial for effective public health decision-making, but the shift towards privatization may undermine trust if not managed carefully.
