Description
THE COMPUTERIZATION of personal healthcare records is one of the showpieces of the new stimulus bill. President Obama promised, "We will make the immediate investments necessary to ensure that within five years all of America's medical records are computerized." Congress ponied up $19 billion to subsidize the digitization of patient files and creation of electronic healthcare tracking systems. The ultimate goal is "the utilization of a certified electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014." Shoved into a 1,400-page bill passed in a panic, the plan went largely undebated. But the implications are horrifying. Doctors will be coerced into a massive federal healthcare scheme, and government will serve as the leaky repository of patients' most intimate information. Much as the Patriot Act pried, this measure intrudes on a far more personal level. No patient left behind--or alone.
