WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The Trump administration announced Wednesday a partnership with an array of Big Tech companies to build a “next-generation digital health ecosystem” that has raised concerns due to several of the companies involved.
According to a press release from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the White House “secured commitments from major healthcare and information technology firms – including Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Google, and OpenAI” to build a health data sharing system with two main goals: “promoting a CMS Interoperability Framework to easily and seamlessly share information between patients and providers, and increasing the availability of personalized tools so that patients have the information and resources they need to make better health decisions.”
More than 60 companies have pledged support so far, including Microsoft, CVS, UnitedHealth Group, Samsung, and Humana.

“For decades, bureaucrats and entrenched interests buried health data and blocked patients from taking control of their health,” declared US Secretary for Health & Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “That ends today. We’re tearing down digital walls, returning power to patients, and rebuilding a health system that serves the people. This is how we begin to Make America Healthy Again.”
“We have the tools and information available now to empower patients to improve their outcomes and their healthcare experience,” added CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz. “For too long, patients in this country have been burdened with a healthcare system that has not kept pace with the disruptive innovations that have transformed nearly every other sector of our economy. With the commitments made by these entrepreneurial companies today, we stand ready for a paradigm shift in the U.S. healthcare system for the benefit of patients and providers.”
Addressing possible privacy concerns, U.S. News & World Report adds that CMS officials have given assurances that patients’ medical records will only be part of the new system if they choose to opt in. But many remain concerned, particularly in light of several companies involved having a history of scandals relating to left-wing bias, censorship of user content, and mishandling of customers’ personal data.
“Merge big tech, surveillance state with the biomedical security state. Another superlative example of why ‘the medical freedom movement’ and ‘MAHA’ are not the same,” Blaze senior editor Daniel Horowitz commented.
“This is not patient empowerment—it’s data centralization,” warned journalist Jon Fleetwood. “Your medical records, bloodwork, and potentially even genetic data are being funneled into a system designed for interoperability, surveillance, and AI-driven analysis. With CMS leading and Big Tech as the infrastructure, this is the domestic blueprint for the World Economic Forum’s global ‘Digital Health Renaissance.’ It is taxpayer-funded, enriches private tech monopolies, and positions the federal government as the broker of every American’s health record.”
Yet while using his second term to battle numerous high-profile manifestations of so-called “woke” ideology, President Donald Trump has also shown what some call a concerning closeness to Big Tech.
On his second day back in office, Trump hosted three of the top artificial intelligence (AI) executives in the nation to tout a $500 billion partnership, dubbed Stargate, to build AI data centers across the United States, during which Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison suggested AI could be used to rapidly develop new mRNA-based vaccines personalized for individual patients.
Just days earlier, Microsoft chief Bill Gates (a notorious advocate for population control and the establishment response to COVID-19) expressed optimism that Trump was “pretty excited” about the idea of fast-tracking an HIV vaccine in the same way his first term’s Operation Warp Speed developed the controversial COVID-19 vaccines.
