So we are going to force the medical industry into a new electronic records system that will cost millions for hospitals and tens of thousands per doctor. (each room must have networked computer tablets so that data can be entered instantly during the exam or visit)


Oh, but the data that goes in excludes important things.
HIV positive? don't worry, we can exclude that.
Had an abortion? we exclude that too.

matter of fact, let's just exclude anything that you or your doctor don't want added to your record.

So we now will have a mandatory system full of voluntary omissions, which of course will therefore require hospitals and doctors to maintain and refer back to the standard medical records for the full info.
