Obesity Rating for Every American Must Be Included in Stimulus-Mandated Electronic Health Records, Says HHS



CNS News reports:
New federal regulations issued this week stipulate that the electronic health records--that all Americans are supposed to have by 2014 under the terms of the stimulus law that President Barack Obama signed last year--must record not only the traditional measures of height and weight, but also the Body Mass Index: a measure of obesity.

The obesity-rating regulation states that every American's electronic health record must: “Calculate body mass index. Automatically calculate and display body mass index (BMI) based on a patient’s height and weight.”
You have no more personal privacy because ObamaCare has a larger utilitarian goal of studying you.
