The largest and most expansive database of personalized medical information is being established under the umbrella of an newly created unit under the authority granted to the Internal Revenue Service, The Federal Data Services Hub. Personal medical records, including electronic medical records, will be incorporated into the program.
"On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(P.L. 111-148). On March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(P.L. 111-152) was signed into law. The two laws are collectively referred to as the Affordable
Care Act. The Affordable Care Act creates new competitive private health insurance markets –
called Exchanges – that will give millions of Americans and small businesses access to
affordable coverage and the same insurance choices members of Congress will have. Exchanges
will help individuals and small employers shop for, select, and enroll in high quality, affordable
private health plans that fit their needs at competitive prices. The IT systems will support a
simple and seamless identification of people who qualify for coverage through the Exchange, tax
credits, cost-sharing reductions, Medicaid, and CHIP programs. By providing a place for onestop shopping, Exchanges will make purchasing health insurance easier and more understandable
and will put greater control and more choice in the hands of individuals and small businesses."
