What you describe more or less exists here in Spain. The (mandatory) national ID is a NFC smart card with a PKI key [1]. With that (among a lot of other things) I can login into my regional government website [2] and look at my (single-payer) healthcare medical history, download it, see who has requested access to it, restrict access to some parts of it, make an appointment, ask for a new doctor, etc. etc. Of course it is sadly more closed-source, proprietary, lowest-bidder work than your vision, but at least the idea is out there and available for millions of people already.
