At the risk of sounding tinfoilish, I am very concerned about the big medical records push. Even Newt is behind it but he has a commercial reason. The messiah is pushing it because he says it will solve all the cost problems - as if insurance companies and the guberment haven’t been trying to squeeze every penny of cost out that they can. Sorry, I don’t buy it. A physician’s access to current medical history cannot be that much of a cost factor. However, centralized control and access to all your health information including your history is a prerequisite for rationing and risk-based healthcare decisions. Something pretty sinister is going down here, right before our eyes.

In other words, your medical records are going to be as screwed up as your credit report. It’s a nightmare in the making.
