lol really? your doctor would be sued for malpractice if he did not keep records. And you regard it as "total data collection on all citizens" that doctors have records and that the security services have access to the records with a warrant?

Two of us have asserted you were completely wrong on the bolded section above. Please respond directly to this issue instead of reframing, misinforming, and using other debating tactics.
1. All doctors have records of their patients.
2. All doctor records can be accessed if there is a warrant.
You say I am completely wrong on these facts. What is wrong with you? Seriously, you have left sanity miles behind here.
You've been told several times why and how you were wrong. This has nothing to do with doctors having records. You've been told it has nothing to do with a need for warrants, that they are not required.
.... gathering and maintaining a universal medical database on a population?
So stop the snide and condescending remarks, the problems are all yours as is evident from the forum pages...
So - your problem is not that the data exists since the data has existed all along. Your problem is not that the data is in a database as its been in databases all along. Your problem is not that its accessible by the security services with a warrant since its been accessible to them all along. Your problem is ... well what is your problem? I'm not being snide. You clearly have some kind of weird issue with either your doctor keeping records or it being available to the security services. Say what the issue is.
What is your problem with not understanding the meaning of a 'national health information database'? It has nothing to do with warrants or informations in doctors hands or insurance companies hands. It is a creation of the federal government intended to collect and maintain all health records.
What is my problem? I don't have a problem. What is your problem? You can't or won't understand things clearly written and right in front of you?
So the data exists, its accessible to security services with a warrant and you don't have a problem with that. Your problem is that the government is running the database.
Incredible. I thought it odd when you said that the pre-Obamacare system worked just fine because people could illegally import drugs from well run countries. This is along the same lines.
