Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution
Preamble
Whereas the right of individuals to own and control their personal health data is essential to human dignity, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; we the people ordain and establish the following:
Section 1
The health data of every person, including all measurements, tests, scans, and records generated through voluntary health assessment, shall be the permanent and exclusive property of that individual. No government, corporation, insurer, or other entity may claim ownership or automatic access without the individual's explicit, revocable consent.
Section 2
The people shall have the right to obtain comprehensive, timely, and accurate health measurements through voluntary, private facilities without coercion, discrimination, or financial ruin. Congress shall make no law infringing upon this right or compelling participation in any health data system.
Section 3
No person shall be denied any right, benefit, or opportunity based upon their health data or their decision to participate or not participate in voluntary health assessment. This Amendment shall be interpreted liberally in favor of individual sovereignty and privacy.
Section 4 — Transitional Implementation
To ensure the effective and uncaptured implementation of this Amendment during its formative period, Congress shall provide for a limited transitional stewardship mechanism of not less than six years, designed to establish operational infrastructure and prevent institutional capture, after which full governance shall vest in structures serving the public interest and preserving the Amendment's original intent.
