Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 5006, the "Health Privacy From Global Bureaucrats Act," would direct the Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Treasury to prohibit sharing taxpayer information, patient medical records, and vaccine data with the World Health Organization or foreign governments. The bill affects all Americans whose health and tax information is held by these federal agencies. The legislation does not specify new funding requirements or implementation timelines, instead giving the two Cabinet secretaries broad authority to take whatever actions they deem necessary to prevent such data sharing. This bill essentially aims to create a legal barrier preventing U.S. health and financial agencies from disclosing personal data to international organizations or other countries without explicit congressional authorization.
