Hipaa is a joke and offers little assurance that personal health data is not indiscriminately shared. I urge Everyone here to look at how 8000+ healthcare entities share your medical information without guarantee of anonymizing your medical record data.You are so right! The only people HIPAA prevents from easily acquiring medical records is the patient him/herself.
I work in a hospital lab and I am not allowed to perform or view the results of any of my own lab tests or my family members' without going to medical records or signing up for electronic medical records through your providers office, which is often burdensome and more difficult for older persons who are not computer savvy.

I think Obama should be concerned about this because of what might show up in his DNA

Anyone supporting this needs 9 grams in the back of their head and their body dumped in North Korea.

Those cards that store force customers to use to get sale items and track purchases are an invasion of privacy. Not only do they sell your consumer information to other businesses, but they also have given it to LEO in crime investigations. I would not doubt for one minute that they would hand it over to insurance companies or the government to see if tobacco, alcohol, OTC drugs, and so called unhealthy foods are purchased.

Share the cards with as many people as possible, swap them around. You all get the benefits and savings but the collected data is useless.

As someone in healthcare data-mining, I concur 100% with your post.
To: TianaHighrider
I should correct that to say ‘posts’ on how this information is NEVER private and it only makes it harder for the patient/employee. This is a total sell out and travesty. Any time anyone else is involved with paying something for you or making decisions for you, you are giving away your power and privacy.

The GOP establishment prove yet again they are no friend of freedom loving conservative minded citizens. This Brave New World bill an Absolute privacy breaching Showstopper! The Republicans we helped sweep into victory approve of employers demanding your genetic data.
In many respects these people are much worse than democrats. At least democrats don’t pretend not to hate us.
