The H.R. 666 Anti-Racism in Public Health Act seeks to access individuals' medical records and is run by the Southern Poverty Law Center and ADL.

The H.R. 666 Anti-Racism in... Public Health Act. Oh my gosh, well I'm up for racism then. And it says here, conduct, analyze data, and administer research and grant program to address racism and the impact of health and well-being with all of your medical records from the CDC, the National Center for Anti-Racism, that's run by the Southern Poverty Law Center and ADL, with your medical records.

The H.R. 666 bill has a low probability of passing legislation.

So, it turns out the big 666 bill that Alex is talking about is that Ayanna Pressley bill, the Anti-Racism and Public Health Act. For some idea about the bill, GovTrack gives a prognosis of 4% chance. Oh, that's a lot better than I would have expected, honestly. Alex hasn't read this bill. It would seek to create a new entity within the CDC called the National Center on Anti-Racism and Health. The entity would be tasked with looking at and addressing the healthcare implications of our country's history of structural racism, ranging from issues related to infectious disease to pregnancy-related conditions, which are two instances of health issues that intersect heavily with race. Additionally, the bill sought to have the CDC coordinated with the DOJ to address police violence as a public health-related matter. The bill was introduced on February 1st, and even though it does have important points in it, as it stands, even Alex knows damn well this isn't going to pass.
