Private health tracking system announced

[wtg]

President Donald Trump has announced a plan for a new private health tracking system that will make it easier for patients to access their health records and monitor their wellness across health care systems and technologies. The system, however, is raising a host of privacy questions.

The collaboration between the federal government and Big Tech would allow patients to more seamlessly track and share their medical records or data among doctors, hospital systems and health apps, the administration and participating companies say.

Details of the system were announced Wednesday during a White House event dubbed “Making Health Technology Great Again.”

This is without even an obstensibe justification in a country without a nation system. Every day it's something else.

Should go very well with a single payer universal healthcare system.

Not a good time to be pregnant, not that I am.

@CHAS Lol.

@Axtremus True. Too bad Obama literally prohibited discussions about it. Also too bad the Party never really mentioned it again. Other topics never really mentioned again include a phased in raise of the minimum wage, etc.

Again? Was there some era of great health technology in the 50s or something?
