Of course not. Note that Obama is continuing Bush "state secrets" malarkey, which means Big Bro' is in and freedom is out.

The HIPPA form signed, would now be worthless. When records become public.

To have a record keeping system that is on a national basis you have to have a National ID. Sounds to me like someone is looking to push the "Big Brother" button.
I say this, you might as well triple the size of the court system for all the lawsuits that would be filed to stop it. Our government is having a hard enough time trying to convice everyone that the "Real" ID isn't the national ID card incognito.

How to get rid of all medical underwriting of insurance. PARAMOUNT
How to keep employers out of records.
How to be sure you DO NOT ever have to sign a form for any doctor or hospital, holding them harmless if they rely on your record and the record is wrong.
How to be sure you do not have to pay a monitoring agency to help you keep your record clean and correct---like your credit report.
LIBERALS. Be screaming NOW.

how other countries do this. All of Europe, Canada and Japan has this type of system. They certainly have learned some lessons. Maybe we can take advantage of their knowledge.
