    Well everybody’s correctly freaking out the last month.

    But It should have already existed for medical use. Back in 2010, it’s not insane.

    under pre trump 2.0, everyone has been suffering from a lack of this. It’s almost killed me twice , and has definitely hurt me. Due to inability to synch medications mostly.

    European countries have this, you don’t have to start treatments over or get mistreated due to lack of a central database because your doctor retired, or you moved, etc. or you are out of your area and they don’t know what meds you’re on and you end up in the hospital.

    That’s paranoid for paranoid’s sake under normal conditions.

      If, hypothetically, a single centralized medical records system was established in 2010, the current administration would be able to get into it for their own nefarious purposes of tracking which people are getting gender affirming care, abortions, or anything else they feel like a pretense to go after the “undesirables”

      Perhaps in this hypothetical it would have seemed overly paranoid in 2010, but current events clearly demonstrate that such paranoia is well-founded.

        It’s still necessary and proper for the purpose of which it needs to exist for. It’s too valuable a life saving tool to call “insane” to implement at sone point, and the sooner the better after we settle this horse shit. Every other civilized country has one.

          The USA is not civilized enough for a federally operated and mandatory centralized medical records system. Not even close.
