问题     In the year of 1993, American President, Bill Clinton, proposed that every American citizen should be made to carry "health security cards", which he described as "smart cards" coded with his or her personal medical information. Congress rejected that proposal, and yet the administration persisted. It lobbied successfully for more moderate health care legislation in 1996 and ever since then has been developing a plan to assign every American a "unique health identifier(UHI)": a computer code assigned to each person that would enable the government to organize all medical records into a central database. Administration officials reason that if the federal government could establish a "national health care data network", this would make billing more efficient and allow medical researchers to study large samples of health records. Such a computerized library of medical files could work only if each American were assigned a UHI code.

选项

答案 1993年,克林顿总统提议每位美国公民均应持有“健康安全卡”。这是一种被他描述为记载着个人健康状况编码的“智能卡”。这一提议遭到议会否决,但政府仍旧坚持不懈,最终在1996年成功游说,通过了更为温和的医疗保健法案。此后,它一直致力于开发一项给每位美国公民分发一个“独特健康标识”的计划。这种独特健康标识是分发给每个人的计算机编码,使政府得以将所有国民的健康记录输入中央数据库存档。政府官员们解释说,如果联邦政府能够建立一个“国民医疗保健数据网”,那将不仅可以提高医院的收款效率,还会为医学研究人员提供大量的健康记录用于研究。只有每位国人都持有独特健康标识编码,这个计算机化的医疗档案图书馆才能得以运行。
