Sounds good for Sweden, we need something similar in the US but with independent monitoring of database usage and laws to prosecute for improper use. Presently all kinds of personal information is held very insecurely by private companies and health organizations, when they go bust or change ownership the information is not secured and there are few controls on who accesses the information they have. Even something as simple as a thumbprint, picture and signature would be an improvement on the present social security cards and numbering system.
