The Trump administration created a federal health data database linking medical records, apps, and AI for cross-agency surveillance, raising fears of automated discrimination and pre-crime policing.
In July 2025, the Trump administration launched two policies—“Making Health Technology Great Again” and “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets”—that integrate health data from medical records, wellness apps, and AI into a centralized federal database accessible across agencies.
The initiative, managed by CMS and linked to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), enables cross-agency sharing with predictive policing tools, raising concerns that health information could be used to surveil, profile, and punish marginalized communities, including disabled individuals, Black, Latino, and Indigenous people, low-income populations, and immigrants.
Critics warn the policies risk turning healthcare into a mechanism of control, automating systemic discrimination and enabling pre-crime enforcement, particularly when participation in health programs may trigger increased scrutiny or denial of services.
