In theory, electronic recordkeeping is a good idea. I see several doctors and in the old days it was difficult for one doctor to get records from another doctor. I also couldn't get my own lab results and I can't tell you how many times paper records were lost. Much easier for me now.

But I do have concerns as to who all has access to these records. Are the death panels going to look at my history and decide I'm too old and sickly to waste valuable resources on?

Just at how much you draw for retirement and how much you pay in for taxes annually. Health - that isn’t a factor as far as they’re concerned. You’re just another number to them.../s maybe not

Of course they are.
