Wire-tapping foreign terrorists? Double-plus ungood!

Having the government get access to your personal medical records? Well, they're here to help, so it's OK ...

It's a good thing if hospitals are encouraged to move away from paper records to electronic records.

If you have ever had a loved one in the hospital that has stayed there more than a few days you know how big and unwieldy the stack of paperwork gets.

The chance for errors or just for nurses/doctors to give up looking through the pile of papers to see what's what with the patient is too great.

However, allowing the federal government to have access, or to try and create a way for it to be easy to transfer electronic records from hospitals to insurance companies, employers, etc. is another thing entirely.

Like every other electronic initiative of the government it will be sold for all the right reasons, but implemented for all the wrong ones.

The Commie ‘RATS want to put your medical records “online.” So much for all that HIPPA bullsh*t. Hackers and identity theives are going to eat this stuff up. It will also give the Obamacorns a new place to go where they can register deceased “voters.”

More ‘good news’. Wow, whatta difference a week makes...

Plus, I know I read somthing and can’t find it again - about Google saying computers would soon be un-needed and everything would ‘be stored on the web’.

Take away our communication? Not sure, need to find that again.

If this one aspect of the plan was broadcast on every news channel, the uproar would be tremendous. The GOP needs to use this issue as a reason to deny the plan. If they are going to be unified they need to list out a litany of reasons.
Our GOP needs to be specific and detailed if they want to win the people back.

That's not going to happen with me or you if you wish.

If that starts, tell your medical provider that you want all your records, X-rays, etc. to be given into your hands. That's all. All of them. You paid for them. Then just tell them you are going someplace else. Problems? Go to the emergency room like illegal aliens with nothing.

Needed drugs can be purchased on the internet. Decouple yourself from the government. Become a non-person. Just get checks.

Obama wants to create another civil war. Let him start it.

Here is a bit from the World Net story:

“The next step, said Brase, is obvious: The government, with information about potential health weaknesses, could say to couples, “We don’t want your expensive children.”

Hmm...hasn’t Nancy P already pretty much gone there with her contraception funding attempt in the stimulus bill?

These people are a lot more transparent than they think they are.

This won’t be difficult - and the government contract will probably go to Microsoft. (Gates family are loyal and contributing Dems.)

But, medical info is just part of what will ultimately be collected and placed on your person. Rejection of that will make it difficult to impossible to buy and sell.

This will be the single biggest, most intrusive imposition of government on regular people that anyone could ever imagine. Sadly, this statement is not hyperbole, not even close.

Every Rx drug, doctor visit, discussion with a doctor, after thoughts of the doctor about you and your conditions, you name it.

You will never ever be able to escape or hide from you medical history. It will be available to anyone who pays for access to the system, like a credit history, but far worse.

One day we will wake up to find that one of these bills passed by Congress has made slaves of us all. That day might not be too far off.

...every American submit to a government program for electronic medical records...last week my wife received a letter from a collection agency claiming that she owed her physicians' group $612 - strange since I had just paid the last bill from the group, which was for only $20. Over the weekend we learned our niece with the same group had also gotten a letter saying that she owed $320 - which she didn't. Checked with the physicians' office and found out that a computer "glitch" in the billing office had somehow mistakenly mailed past-due and pay-up-or-else collection notices to virtually all of their patients. Just wait until some similar glitch matches the wrong blood test results or CAT scans to a hundred thousand or so patients under this new super system - paper records may be slower and somewhat inefficient, but they don't carry the potential for highspeed catastrophic medical mistakes by the thousands.......

And that's beside the privacy and confidentiality issues.....
