Final Stimulus Bill Creates Government Database that Will Hold Every American’s Personal Medical Records Thursday, February 12, 2009 By Fred Lucas, Staff Writer
(CNSNews.com) - The final version of the stimulus bill, negotiated by the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, includes a provision creating a federal data base that will hold the personal medical records of every American, Katie Grant, spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told CNSNews.com Thursday.
The full language of the final package had not been released as of press time. But the the bills that passed both the House and Senate created an “Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology” and called for the coordinator to create a national database and a plan for “the utilization of an electronic health record (EHR) for each person in the United States by 2014.”
Asked if the provision for the “utilization of an electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014” was in the final bill agreed to by the House-Senate conference committee, Grant said, “It is.” She later said “correct” when asked a second time if this language was in the final bill.

So much for HIPA
Time for the lawsuits on this outrageous intrusion of privacy to begin
Hillary Care gave the congress back to the Pubbies after only two years.
Hopefully this provision will do the same.
Except for Mr. Øbama, Democratic leaders of the House and Senate
..ah ah ah..all my shots?
Doesn’t this violate privacy rights?
I know I always have to sign a form releasing ANY of my medical records to another physician.
Will I be asked to sign a form releasing them to the feds?
I'm sure there are some. Bet we can find plenty on Pelosi in Baltimore's back-alleys ~ guys who know what STDs she picked up and passed around, that sort of thing. Real medical stuff!
“When confronted by this provision by Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, cancer survivor Arlen Spector professed surprise at hearing about the inclusion of such a program. He then promised to vote against any bill that included such a provision”.
The provision is still in there, any bets that he’s going to honor his word?????
Washington DC shall henceforth be renamed Obamastan (pronounced oh-bah-mah-stahn), and the country shall be known as the United Socialist States of North Amerika.
“In other news, today the federal Office of Health Information Technology confirmed that the health records for 178 million Americans had been copied by hackers breaking into a computer in the main office in Washington. They emphasized that they did not expect that anyone’s health care privacy had been compromised by the break-in and said that they were taking steps to improve the security of the system to prevent future break-ins. The flawed security was traced to the former Bush administration that badly botched the computerization of health care records.”
So the government now has a record of every person that has AIDS?
This alone will be enough to get the left on board.
I saw his interview with Megyn, and he very carefully DID NOT say he would vote against it - he just said that he guaranteed that would not be in there.
Yes it violates privacy rights, and weren’t they the ones freaking out over the bill to allow Bush Admin to easedrop on terrorists? This opens the way to decide who lives and dies by euthenasia....by looking at your possible cost to the government healthcare in future.
Americans have lost their mind on this one.
It will also list any STDs Congresscritters may have contracted from a ‘mistress’.
"Ahhh, we see you were prescribed a tranquilizer back in 1981!". "You obviously have an unstable personality... NO guns for You!".
So, the government, without our consent, collecting all of our medical records is not a violation of the Fourth Amendment, but the Commander-in-Chief, though the NSA, conducting signals intelligence against terrorist abroad, when their communications come into or through the United States, is?
The lunatics are in charge of the asylum.
Dems will say that only doctors will have access to the info. Guess what, company HR departments can hire a doctor too.
You may never know why you didn't get that perfect job. Maybe it was that high blood pressure or stress test? Maybe you once went to counseling?
I think it’s damned well time for another Revolution, myself.
Have you felt that you’ve “lived too long”?
I never imagined I would be alive to see Marxism take over the US.
I’m only 47 but I feel ancient.
[and not coincidentally, this “feeling” only started in the last 6 months]
