It's all about making the medical records electronic:
development of a nationwide health information technology infrastructure that allows for the electronic use and exchange of information pg441, lines 21:23, HR1EH.
That sounds like big brother. It depends on the exact implementation details though. If it's purely just a standardized way of storing and transmitting data, then fine. Nothing more than we have now. However, if it ends up that the standardized way of storing and transmitting data is a centralized federal database, then I think there's a problem. I haven't read enough to understand that.
What I have read, I don't like. Not because of the words, or the neutral/positive implementation possibilities. But because of the potential negative implementations. I don't trust the Government to not screw us over.
