>>>> collecting race, ethnicity, and primary language data. The new HHS standards, published in 2011, <<<< They forgot to mention political affiliation and your personal history of making political donations.... But that's the next stage. Also - religion. I'll betcha they'll be able to prove that atheists tend to be younger and healthier. Must be good for you.... :)

I wonder if they'd withhold treatment if a person refused to comply? U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Implementation Guidance on Data Collection Standards for Race, Ethnicity, Sex, Primary Language, and Disability Status October 2011

I spent the day at the pulmonary clinic. I do not know if it was part of the "Act" but the questions were extraordinary. Since I am there for nodules in my lungs why does it matter if I have had a vasectomy. Why did they care when and where I have been in the last year. That question did not specify out of the country. There was more but I was laughing so hard I could not read them through the tears in my eyes. The best one was it asked me in English only if I could read and understand English.
