“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. Brase warns that the NHSS proposal would allow the federal government to monitor an individual’s behavior before, during and after any government-defined health ‘incident’ – which could be anything from a local outbreak of the flu to a terrorist anthrax attack. One of the dangers, Brase pointed out, is that this vast amount of medical data warehoused in a giant electronic database will only be available to government-approved researchers.”
