WASHINGTON, DC – Pres. Donald Trump has even trumped himself with this latest digital healthcare scheme.
The little scheme was put in place a month ago. However, the recent announcement of Great Britan clamping down on its citizens last week with digital IDs reminded me the loss of our autonomy here in the U.S. is not far off. That is if we do not stand up to our politicians and their authoritarian ideology.
Let me be perfectly clear this is not a Trump issue he is just the current mouthpiece. This mess has been going on for countless administrations while mainstream media and deep state make sure the red and blue are as divided as possible so these agendas can be pushed with little resistance.
Do not think these agendas suddenly just showed up when Trump took office, which means you have been sleeping way too long.
This government’s latest health care scheme, and when I say scheme, I do not mean the way they use the word in Europe where it is an innovative idea. I mean how it is used in the U.S. where you better get your head on a swivel and figure out what part of your autonomy you are about to lose.
Trump’s big Digital Health Tech Ecosystem unveiling might look good on paper, but it is obviously just another “step into the digital age” narrative.
Yes, that same digital age that has AI taking over everything and sick and dying people being just another brick in the wall of progress.
Trump said this healthcare scheme is “vital.”
Can anyone tell me why?
“Moving from clip boards and fax machines into a new era of convenience, profitability and speed and frankly better health for people,” were his words.
How does moving away from human interaction and conversations in real time create better health for people?
“Under the leadership of Administrator Oz, we are officially launching the CMS Digital Health Tech Ecosystem to give healthcare providers, insurers and software companies the tools they need to empower Americans with a 21st century experience on health,” Trump said. “The key break through we have made is getting many of the biggest names in the healthcare and technology to agree to industry-wide standards for electronic medical records – all of those great companies that you have just heard have gotten together with this group of very brilliant people.”
That statement above, which is press release narrative dogma 101 (I have worked in the press release world so I know) was so easy to read between the lines I am embarrassed for whoever wrote it.
I do not know anyone who would call “healthcare providers, insurers and software companies” a group of brilliant people. Unless of course you mean brilliant in making sure those in need are pushed to the very limit and still do not receive the kind of service they need.
I am not saying I like or dislike Trump more or less than the other red and blue presidents that have served our country. I will remind of the word “served” and that goes for all politicians who are supposed to be serving us.
Are they?
Is allowing digital age partnerships of Open AI, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft AI, Google and even Oracle to take possession of your data and your soul the best idea when it involves your healthcare?
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said of this latest scheme “For decades, bureaucrats and entrenched interests buried health data and blocked patients from taking control of their health.”
So, the solution? Digital identity integration. That is not the answer.
