Final Stimulus Bill Creates Government Database that Will Hold Every American's Personal Medical Records

The final version of the stimulus bill, negotiated by the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, includes a provision creating a federal database that will hold the personal medical records of every American, Katie Grant, spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told CNSNews.com Thursday.

The full language of the final package had not been released as of press time. But the bills that passed both the House and Senate created an "Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology" and called for the coordinator to create a national database and a plan for "the utilization of an electronic health record (EHR) for each person in the United States by 2014."

Asked if the provision for the "utilization of an electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014" was in the final bill agreed to by the House-Senate conference committee, Grant said, "It is." She later said "correct" when asked a second time if this language was in the final bill.

The legislation called for creating a National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and said that this person "shall perform the duties under subsection (c ) in a manner consistent with the development of a nationwide health information technology infrastructure for the electronic use and exchange of information."
