Lost among the language of Obama's "Economic Stimulus Package," aka "Welfare for Lobbyists," is a little-discussed provision to demand that every American submit to a government program for electronic medical records without a choice to opt out. The fact that this kicks HIPPA to the curb, not to mention all other right-to-privacy laws, including those under the FOIA, is bad enough. Having your medical records sold by GOOGLE to its advertisers makes this provision unconscionable.
But, WAIT! There's more!"
Towards the end of the article is this nugget:
The Citizens' Council on Health Care has worked to publicize the issue in Minnesota. The group raised opposition when the state Department of Health continued to warehouse DNA without parental consent in violation of the genetic privacy and DNA property rights of parents and children.
Twila Brase, president of CCHC, said at the time the problem is that "researchers already are looking for genes related to violence, crime and different behaviors."
She said, "In England they decided they should have doctors looking for problem children, and have those children reported, and their DNA taken in case they would become criminals."
Sounds like we're going to see a Division of Pre-Crime DNA in jolly old England, or pretty much the plot of the movie, MINORITY REPORT.
In fact, published reports in Britain note that senior police forensics experts believe genetic samples should be studied, because it may be possible to identify potential criminals as young as age 5. What could happen through subsequent programs to address such conditions, she wondered.
"Not all research is great," she said.
All together now,

This is the same kind of ideas that NAZI Eugenics was based on. add that to abortion as an economic tool.
Fascism has arrived, folks. And it’s riding a dark horse.
We either begin an active resistence, NOW, or we will end up with the same eventual fate.
The last round of fascism cost us over 100,000,000 lives. How many could it cost us this time?
LOL.
Actually, I don’t think fascism has a color, so I don’t concern myself with that. What concerns me are the fascist tendencies of a government that has far too much control.
I’ve gotten this several times on my work phone number. It’s a pharmacy doing it. No idea what they’re trying to send, but it’s undoubtedly got personal information in it.
The first time it happened, it kept auto-dialing for over 2 hours. I finally typed up “THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO FAX IS A PHONE, NOT A FAX MACHINE, PLEASE STOP” in really big letters on a piece of paper, and faxed it to them, using the number on my caller ID. Then it stopped.
I live in Arizona and just got a letter from the Dept of Health and Human Services that Arizona and Utah residents can participate in the Medicare Personal Health Record program.
Private companies are doing it. Medicare can post your records to it. Of course they have privacy standards. I’ll bet. I’ll bet that the government private company partnership will never allow one entity to know what the other is doing.
This is scary. Scary.
The doctor patient confidentiality is being destroyed.
And your Social Security Number will never be used for identification purposes.
< /sarcasm >
True, fascism has no color, but the problem is that under present concepts of “affirmative action” as pursued by ACORN and its ilk, moves that would be correctly seen as fascist if perpetrated by those who are not black will not be correctly seen as black because of white guilt whose bearers feel a deep need not to see and the MSM, who also do not wish to see accurately but rather to act as “the vanguard of the masses” in pursuit of ideological notions and “social justice” as perceived through a totalitarian mindset.
Wow, the orginal? 1956, have you seen the latest?
Yes. Liked the original better.........
Good catch! Thanks. For a moment, I thought the Dems had changed the acronym.
Weak-minded people worldwide fall for the ignorance of racism. I consider that a separate subject. In general, fascism has not been limited to particular ethnic groups.
So-called “white guilt” is also for the weak-minded.
You know, I can see the need to transfer medical records etc. via the internet between providers, but the government ‘keeping’ a warehouse of records, dna, etc. is downright scary! Why does the government need this info?
This is just prep work for the nationalization of our health care and any other future nefarious purposes they can dream up.
“The doctor patient confidentiality is being destroyed.”
and soon our right to even choose our own doctor will be destroyed too.
Yes, and they seem to have elected a president of these United States, just what the founders feared when they insisted on having a Republic.
I don’t understand your comment. The Founders themselves elected a president of this republic.
All of the 0bama administration will be a bad dream, until Americans wake up.
I've believed them for decades. It's an awkward position for an agnostic to take...
My card says:
FOR SOCIAL SECURITY AND TAX PURPOSES-NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION
Right there along the bottom...
Let me ‘splain it. The founders feared pure democracy because of its vulnerability to demagoguery, whereby a relatively empty individual who could stir a mob passion, in this case a desire for affirmative action without regard for merit, could take over.
