I get that. But there are several formats for health data records. As someone else said, the issues with these systems are political not technical.

And in most socialised healthcare systems you can obtain your medical records in a format that other healthcare systems can read.

You're not wrong but which will be easier in the US: solving the political problem with a technical solution or the technical problem with a political solution?

Until one wins, why is it a problem to try to solve the problem one way but not the other?
