Real-time surveillance of US medical records.

Your doctor types, Big Brother reads.

The federal government is piecing together a sweeping national "biosurveillance" system that will give bureaucrats near real-time access to Americans' private medical information in the name of national security, according to Twila Brase, a public health nurse and co-founder of the Citizens Council for Health Freedom.

The Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response is currently seeking public comment on a 52-page draft of the proposed "National Health Security Strategy 2015-2018" (NHSS).

The deadline for comment is 5 pm EST on May 21^st. (See Draft National Health Security Strategy 2015-2018.pdf)

What does this mean? It means they know every frickin' thing you ever told your doctor or ever will.

 

"I think people are worried about things like HIV or something stigmatizing or embarrassing. But they should be very concerned about the fact that this is really a sweeping strategy to oversee your entire life with the intention of keeping you, and making you keep yourself, healthy," she continued.

"And that is a government that is too big. That is a government that says you have no freedom, because if you are not free from surveillance, you are not free."

Dear America, you boys and girls need to get very pissed off about this. Because if you don't, Michelle Obama is going to be telling you what's for dinner, and you are going to eat it. Hope y'all like kale.
