Here are just 10 ways government may use your data, ICD-10, mandated EHRs and Health IT to harm you:

1. Research conducted on all Americans to develop standardized protocols.

2. Standardized treatment protocols imposed on non-standardized patients.

3. Research-based health care rationing according to your productivity, age, etc.

4. Penalties on doctors who refuse to follow one-size-fits-all treatment protocols.

5. "Team-based care" directed by computerized protocols, not your physician.

6. Charging doctors with fraud if fail to follow standardized treatment protocols.

7. Eliminating medical innovation through standardized treatment protocols.

8. Using race/sexual orientation data to accuse doctors of civil rights violations.

9. Locating the uninsured and the unvaccinated for penalties and enforcement.

10. Genetic and medical profiling of individuals and families.

ACTION ITEM: When you see a clinician, ask them: 1) what one person is in charge of your care; 2) are they following a computerized treatment protocol; 3) is there a treatment better suited for you, and if so, why are they not prescribing it; and 4) are they being "scored" (measured) on any treatments they just prescribed for you.

Flow chart diagnostics. Enter symptoms into the computer, and out pops your diagnosis, complete with a pre-written prescription.

No need for but one Doctor at any one location, as long as the computer is running.

Just 10? All that data will be worth a fortune to the private sector corporations.

We honestly can’t even fathom how badly our personal information will be abused. We’ve already seen the IRS get away with blatant political shenanigans and then cover it up using the same laws they’ve just abused and broken.

Just think of Joe Blow being sued for a car accident, the opposition Insurance company/lawyer has an in with politicians and comes to find out Joe Blow was an alcoholic at one point, or complained of anxiety and had a few benni’s that he hasn’t taken for years.

Then once the government statititions grind the date, they’ll figure that people with type II diabetes and Chronic Renal failure over the age of 60 are lost causes and recommend ‘pallative’ care only.

And that just the legitimate uses. Think about the numerous ways they will be able to track you in every possible way if they link you to integrated instant data systems or how they can use the technology against you in ways never before conceived. Automated traffic ticketing systems tied to your bank accounts to ensure they get paid first. And doesn’t have to stop there. It can be for any government fee or related expense. Think of the political punishment they can dole out to you if they find out you don’t approve of the current administration in office. Instant flag for audits, put on watch lists, gun confiscation list once they can deem being a Tea Party member is a symptom of an underlying mental condition and can assign an ICD9 code to it.

Anyone who signs onto “but this is just to help the government do its job more efficiently and we should trust them” mentality deserves what they’ll get.

Cross-reference with voter registration data.
Registered with the “wrong” party?
No expensive treatment for you....

Cross reference with gun registration databases.
Gun owner/collector/enthusiast? Same deal.

The possibilities are endless.

I had to go to the hospital for a procedure last week and I can already tell the difference. The staff was foreign and unkind. The head nurse, from India, acted like a battle axe and was rude to me and my husband. The sheets were dirty. The doctor was terse and rude.

All the more reason to fully support an Article V Convention Of The States.

Article V is our last chance to reclaim liberty and return to limited government without the use of brute force.

BUMP
The citizen comment period ends 02/06/2015 for this obnoxious piece of legislation.
It is imperative that everyone who cares about your healthcare privacy and wants to retain your physician, speak out now to stop plans for 37 Fed agencies to “Collect, Share, Use” your healthcare data.
Your second amendment rights, among other things, may very well depend on whether this program is enacted.
