Another Hub health care worthy has signed up with Google Health - today's Boston Globe reports that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts joins Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center - see John Halamka's GeekDoctor post - in facilitating the download of patient data to Google Health PHRs.

Per the Globe, BCBS says that "Google wants to attract as many users as possible to its site, while Blue Cross-Blue Shield seeks to offer members an online tool."

Regarding attracting users to Google's site -- Google says it isn't serving ads on Google Health, but presumably that won't last for long, because that's how the Googleplex keeps humming.
