Four years after Obamacare became law, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is notifying Medicare providers and suppliers of new fingerprint-based background checks. Eventually, all individuals who hold a five percent or greater stake in a Medicare supplier or provider that is categorized as "high risk" will be subject to the requirement. The provision is part of the Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP Program Integrity Provisions (Title E) of the Affordable Care Act, and gives the HHS secretary broad discretion in applying the background check requirements depending on the potential for abuse, fraud, and/or waste.
The new requirements are spelled out in a document posted online on the website of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) last Friday. The new rules will apply to both current and future enrollees who are classified as "high risk," the stated purpose being to weed out "bad actors" in the Medicare program and prevent any more from enrolling.
This particular document is a "News Flash" from CMS's Medicare Learning Network and is addressed to suppliers and providers who submit claims for "Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) and Home Health and Hospice (HH&H) MACs for services provided to Medicare beneficiaries." There is no effective date or implementation date listed on the document; rather, the document states that "fingerprint-based background check implementation will be phased in beginning in 2014," and that those affected will receive letters after which the individuals will have thirty days to comply with the finger-printing requirement. The fingerprints will be submitted to the FBI for a background check and will be stored by the government in accordance with federal requirements and FBI guidelines.

They can pick your soda bottle out of the trash and swab the rim (any number of things/ways) and they’ll have your DNA. DNA actually much easier to get (without consent) than any other identifier.
Anyway, they can use tactics like this to construct a rigid caste system. They can check your identifiers against your NSA political profile. Being a Medicaid provider is only for the enlightened high party loyalist.
In North Korea they call it the Sungbun system, your defined as a member of one of three castes: “the loyal”, “the wavering” or “the hostile”.
What the rank and file Democrats don’t understand is that their reputation will not survive what’s coming and people they know may well see to. Too bad, soo sad.

They can do, like you say, as they want. But I watch my trash. I also spray it with WalMart’s undiluted Louisiana Pete’s Hotsauce to keep the ‘bears’ out of my trash. :o)
