[Question - Other] Carte Vitale: Barriers for U.S. Adoption?

U.S. student/citizen here who has been trying to self-educate on the U.S. Healthcare by reading random books, most recently "The Healing of America" by TR Reid.

One of my interesting takeaways was how admin costs are ridiculous and how the France [also read Germany has something of this sort as well] has developed a green credit card called the Carte Vitale to circumvent these issues by digitally storing the patient's entire medical records in this card while making billing extremely convenient as well. As I read about this, I was wondering what are the barriers to adopting this and why the U.S. hasn't tried adopting this approach yet.

(PS sorry if this has been answered already: I spent 15 minutes on Google + Reddit and couldn't find anything and thought I'd save myself some time)

[Question - insurance] Must I register by state?

Hello, I am a 25 year old who is about to lose insurance coverage through my mother on 12/31/2019. I am currently doing the research to get myself coverage but quickly ran into an issue. I travel for months at a time for work (small business owner). I have an address in Florida as well as in Pennsylvania. My ID, license plate, etc. is all under Pennsylvania. I am not a student. I’m not sure which state to register under. It is my understanding that if I were to register as a PA resident, no docs in Florida would accept my coverage. There are plenty of other people in the country who have a similar life situation, I am sure. Any one have advice on this? I split my time nearly equally between the two states, but am often working in others as well! There’s a high chance I will not be in Pennsylvania during a time I need to see a doc.
