They should add a national Healthcare ID card to simplify things and help people

Wouldn't that be great? If you have healthcare, or want healthcare, you have to have a picture ID. It helps the doctors verify who you are.
I'd love it if everytime I switched doctors or went somewhere new, I could whip out my HealthCare ID card and they swipe it for my medical data. I'm no longer filling out a 4-6 page form everytime I see a new doctor or a specialist.
You could even make it mandatory, regardless of if you have insurance or not. A national ID card, if you will.
Let's target it to be implemented by, say, October, 2018.

Waiting for BamaAtl's input on how this would be a hardship.

And just maybe it could be required to vote.
HAHAHAHA

It's much more of a hardship for some 80 year old without an ID to fill out a super long medical history, or arrange for medical records to be transferred between a million doctors' offices.

But BA will say is a tougher hardship to go get a photo id.

Health information technology funding was cut under the agreement, as well. HHS' Office of the National Coordinator will receive $3 billion, reduced from $5 billion in the original proposal, to spend on providers for the adoption of IT and electronic health records.

This is actually a broad idea, improving, leveraging and coordinating technology in the healthcare sector to drive down costly medical errors, improve efficiency, and create a more unifying system, that has been around for some time. And the dirty Dems tried to invest in it with the Stimulus and Republicans were against it. Preferring more tax cuts in unrelated areas like usual. And in trying to get support they gut a decent bit of the spending on it.
But unfortunately, one thing realized is that to truly do this is an enormous endeavor.
But the idea is a good one.

They dont' care about hardships for getting OASDI, Medicaid, Medicare, or anything else.
It's only racist for voting.

I'm for this in context of a single payer plan. Would make things cheaper, more efficient, and likely safer for the patient (raise your hand if you've ever done medrec on a complicated pt)

Something I know quite a bit about. Here's the practical problem with your good idea. There are hundreds of different EHR systems being used at doctors offices across the country. It's one industry that no one company ever came in a grabbed a big slice of the market share. The chances on one card being compatible with all of those different EHR systems is 0.
Imagine if MS Windows wouldn't have created a near monopoly on PC operating systems and you had hundreds of different systems running on PCs. How hard would it be to share info across all of those different operating systems. That's the reality in medicine.

"Dimocratix Trivia" for $200, Alex.
If the dims wanted it so badly, as you dubiously claim, why didn't they ram it through like they did Obamacare? In 2009, y'all had the house, the senate, and the White House. You had all the votes you needed. GOP was SOL to stop it.
You just can't help blaming your shortcomings on somebody else. It's BS, and you know it.

The ACA wasn't rammed through. It was the result of a full year of hearings, negotiations, crafting, and public comments.

Ya know what would be great? Someone showing me exactly where in the US Constitution the FedGov has any rights to govern the citizens health care, health insurance, or choices, in regards to individuals or states health.

Yet they still couldn't tell us what was in the dam thing. Guess they wasted a year of tax payer money as usual.

Washington dimocratix voting against the will of the people is "ramming it through."

Not every single detail, but only someone living in a bubble for a year didn't know what the bill was and how it worked

According to Jonathon Gruber, a whole lot of dimocratix live in a bubble.
