The proposed health data tracking system raises significant privacy concerns that must be addressed. While the ability to seamlessly share medical records across providers could improve care coordination, the centralized storage and aggregation of highly sensitive personal health information creates substantial risks. The collection of private app data along with medical data is unnecessary and frightening. Private companies already control too much data and this is a ridiculous overreach by the federal government. Previous proposals for national health data networks have stalled due to public unease about privacy violations. Without clear protections, many patients should opt out to undermine the system's goals. I urge you to prioritize enacting rigorous privacy and security measures governing this initiative. Maintaining public trust in the confidentiality of their health records is paramount. The convenience benefits cannot come at the expense of compromising deeply personal data. Resources and efforts should be made to provide health insurance for all rather than eroding citizen privacy.
