Government Seeking Inclusion of ‘Social and Behavioral’ in Health Records

Government Seeking Inclusion of ‘Social and Behavioral’ in Health Records | Washington Free Beacon:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) wants to require health care providers to include “social and behavioral” data in Electronic Health Records (EHR) and to link patient’s records to public health departments, it was announced last week.
Health care experts say the proposal raises additional privacy concerns over Americans’ personal health information, on top of worries that the Obamacare “data hub” could lead to abuse by bureaucrats and identify theft.
If Bush had proposed this, the left and their propaganda arm (MSM) would have demanded free pitchforks and paid days off for marches in every city!
And rightly so!
