Health Care Bill page 58

Today, a long chain email on health care bill has been spreading, especially the health care bill page 58. A page-by-page analysis of the bill states that reform will end the health care system. Whatever it means, let's just see what happens to this bill.

Anyway, below is the content of page 58 of the said bill.
Page 58: Every person will be issued a National ID Healthcard. Barely True: Section 163 sets out goals for electronic health records. It says one goal should be real-time confirmation of which services a person qualifies for and how much they will have to pay. That could be achieved by machine-readable beneficiary cards, according to the legislative language. But the legislation does not require the cards.
