>Health records are often political-economic documents rather than medical.

Wow!!! Great observation.

One thing though, if ML/AI can detect when they are political-economic vs when they are medical then maybe you could apply some of the techniques of ML/AI

There is no ultimate source of truth so I don't see how AI/ML could make that distinction.

Yeah I agree. This is another example of our own biases/errors being injected to the data, thus poisoning any models we try to build with it. On the surface it seems unlikely there's much of a way to compensate for that, and if there was, it would probably have to be tailored to every specific type of bias/error.
