Democrats call for halt to ER record collection
Democratic lawmakers are demanding the suspension of a new surveillance initiative by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) that seeks to collect detailed medical records of Americans visiting emergency rooms. The program, which was expanded without public notice, requires hospitals to share sensitive health data, including injury details for thousands of conditions, raising privacy concerns. The effort has faced broad opposition from hospitals and privacy advocates, with critics arguing it exceeds the agency’s authority and poses risks of misuse. The CPSC has begun removing some references to mandatory reporting and information blocking penalties amid the controversy.
