Healthcare industry still searching for best way to fix the 
patient-matching process https://www.modernhealthcare.com/politics-policy/house-votes-overturn-ban-national-patient-identifier?utm_source=modern-healthcare-hits-friday&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20190614&utm_content=article1-readmore

What we have here is a well thought out strategy to pass government run healthcare. Government healthcare requires a National Patient ID. The Big Government Left knows that it will be a negative on Single Option Bill. So they are planning to slip it through before the big bill comes.

Watch them try to sneak in repeated small nuisance objections.

Libertarians oppose an NPI for ideological reasons. Readers of Revelations fear the mark of the beast. But pragmatists know that the government cannot do this right. People, Doctors will berequired to TRUST the government NPI. Patients will die because the government cannot keep quality data.

Pragmatists arise, rally a coalition to make the Senate aware of the sleepers in this, and in the bills to come.

How about 5bil to build the wall and stop the threat of ebola, mumps, tb, measles, chicken pox and every other 3rd world disease. 99 billion my ass.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) secured his amendment...

That jackass has a real job?

From the article:

For decades, Congress has prohibited HHS from funding the development or promotion of any national program where patients would receive permanent, unique identification numbers.

Why, all of a sudden, is this considered a good idea?

Of course, this bill has to make it through the Senate and be signed into law by President Trump. Tuff slog.

Just another example of what will happen if the communists take back the WH and Senate next year... our P.I.C. (patient identifier card) will also contain several other kinds of government-owned information:

• DNA data;
• Voting record;
• Latest financial score;
• Whether left or right handed;
• Criminal record;
• Suspected ownership of guns;
• Membership in any hate groups (E.g. Christianity, NRA, Free Republic, etc...);
• Requirement indicator for wearing the Universal Yellow-Star Armband;
• List of specific zones in the country in which bearer is allowed to travel;
• Standby/Priority status box-car-code for possible transportation to re-education or redaction centers.

For efficiency and maintenance, identifier cards will contain a method to prevent the implanted heart device, every citizen will have, from exploding as long as the card remains within 10-feet of the citizen
