It all sounds good, but once there are electronic records, it's too easy to share it, hack into it, and so on, there goes whatever little privacy we thought we had.
This is so disturbing. I wonder where the "right to privacy" leftists come down on this?
OK....
From now own, I pay cash at the local MedAid clinic, under an assumed name.
Get ready for you private medical records and doctor visits to became accessible to all the people you wish they were kept from. Just bribe the right person. Even done honestly your medical records will be looked at by way too many "interested parties" Such as insurers, lenders and mortgage companies.
Seeing as insurance companies etc. already have access to your medical records, the real question is will this benefit you the consumer when visiting a hospital or a doctor other than your primary physician in the form of complete medical history available to them? I don't know.AWB
