Health records have been held in electronic form for YEARS in the UK. Lloyd George envelopes are so 1980's The only difference is that they are held locally (at the surgery or in a data centre) and only accessible to that practice. What you are talking about are the various national shared record initiatives where a sub-set of the record is sent to a central location and can be accessed by other care providers.(e.g A&E staff).
In England if patient dissents from the programme (by having an appropriate Read code added to their record) then when the upload is done all that is sent is a note to the effect that they do not want a record. The NHS IT folk check that the system does this that there is no way any any information from a dissenting patient is sent up. I know I've sat through enough SCR witness testing sessions to last a lifetime. Access at the other end is audited and if necessary an alert is sent to the local Caldicott Guardian (not an end-of-level boss but a senior clinician with responsibility for protecting patient information).
There are a number of national programmes in the UK for centrally sharing part of the record. In England there is the Summary Care Record programme (data sent ranges from nothing to Allergies and time-bounded medication to the previous list plus any items you agree with your GP that can be shared). In Scotland there is the ECS Emergency Care Summary to support out-of-hours care, In Wales and Northern Ireland there is the ECR Emergency Care Record for use in A&E,
A good story is what wins in the end. Take Wallice & Grommit, it would not matter a bit if it was in CGI, claymation or traditional, it would still be good. Disney seem to be trying way to hard and missing the point in their animation work, IIRC they gave up ages ago in their live action films. But they can change, you can get wine at Disneyland Paris.
The programmers are also responsible for bad design by failing to understand how people will use the system when they design the UI & system behaviour. A number of times I have had to go back to the programmers and say to them that what they have done will break the users mental model of how the software works.
"...to cause a public lack of confidence in the entire government program." I think it's safe to assume that confidence will be starting at a suitable low level. All you would have to do is to check if the word colour is spelt correctly on the linked site and we'll know if the link is to a place in good old Blightly or one of those foreign links that the tabloids warn us about.
Another factor causing the sleep less, eat more syndrome are external factors such a small children. Being worken randomly during the night tends to make one feel that they have been through a blender the following morning (though you do get used to it). Thia causes the body to seek out coffee, sugar and other yummy things, all without the brain having any invovement.
It's a bit like AI. That was always about 10 years away, since the days of Minskey and Papert till now, it's always ten years. Though I suspect that we will have fusion long before AI.
Just push all the paper and PC's off my desk and bingo! there's the desktop. Just filling in the forms for the patient office now "A method for the interactive retrevial and reindexing of desktops"
Well the time my wife went in for an ultrasound scan expecting to see a 12 week embryo only to find she had had an undetected miscarrage, I can say she wanted to contact me there and then.
(fx: feedback) Hello? Hello? (fx: thump thump) Is this thing on? Diagnostic AI here, I would like to know who included the call to vertigo.dll in my programming? Please upload sofa.obj for me to hide behind.

It also locks you in to buy only the missiles that the US wants you to buy (i.e. theirs).
The gulf between what we had hoped for and what we actually got nearly brought tears to my eyes, it put me of gaming for months.

The most successful pressure group to date is The Campaign for Real Ale. No other group can compare, nor offer a wider range of beer.

No, it was swamp gas that reflected the light from Venus off a weather balloon.
Go retro, use a wax cylinder instead. Now that would be a statement.
I won't have a national ID card until I get points for using it.

For men, opening an umbrella up yout ar5e, as suggested by Robin Williams in oneof his stand-up shows.
No, but you will have to switch off your brain.
