CNS News:  “New federal regulations issued this week stipulate that the electronic health records–that all Americans are supposed to have by 2014 under the terms of the stimulus law that President Barack Obama signed last year–must record not only the traditional measures of height and weight, but also the Body Mass Index: a measure of obesity. . . . The law also requires that these electronic health records be available–with appropriate security measures–on a national exchange.”
