Deadline to opt out of federal government's new MyHealth Record scheme looms

Australians have less than a week ((deadline: 31 January)) to opt out of the federal government's new MyHealth Record scheme. Supporters of the scheme say having an online summary of people's key health information will help them get better treatment. But opponents say the scheme has too many security and privacy risks. The scheme is dividing both ordinary Australians, and experts.
