I think one of the issues that will seem weird is employer-based insurance oversight with easy access to your whole history, but hey, maybe we'll get nationalized health care too, so that won't matter. Imagine the customer service and quality you associate with the DMV but with access to all your medical records. Awesome.

Employers, especially big employers that essentially issue their own insurance, already have access to some of this information. I hadn't read that employers were going to gain access to the database, though...guess I need to read up on that more. I AM concerned about that, and the privacy/security issue in general. I don't really trust the government to build the most secure database around.
