A nurse has filed a lawsuit against the medical records provisions of President Obama's stimulus bill alleging it not only gives government officials access to personal health records, it would open the door for bureaucrats to make health care decisions.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court for the Southern District of New York by Beatrice Heghmann, a nurse from Durham, N.H. It targets the health sections of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that demand all health care records be put into an electronic format.
The recently filed claim cites the authorization of the "Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology."
The lawsuit explains the federal law specifies, "The National Coordinator shall perform the duties under subsection (c) in a manner consistent with the development of a nationwide health information technology infrastructure that allows for the electronic use and exchange of information and that among other functions provides appropriate information to help guide medical decisions at the time and place of care.
Using the personal information, the lawsuit claims, "the National Coordinator will monitor treatments to make sure the plaintiff's doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective."

Thank goodness there is finally a lawsuit about SOMETHING these thugs are doing.
What the hail are we doing owning GM? Why weren’t there lawsuits?
We sue if our undies get too tight but the actions of this band of clowns and thieves go unchallenged????
I hope this lady wins and wins big.
Our Constitutional rights? Lulz, please.
When was the last time that Barry, an alleged Constitutional Law professor, gave a rats arse about Constitutional rights, especially ours?
Opps, that’s right, under socialism and/or fascism, constitutional rights are reserved for the elite which is ironic when one of the goals of socialism is to take from the rich (i.e.: the elite) and give to the poor. Robin Hood is rolling over in his grave...
Your medical records ... public access by way of the Barack-cracy.
At least its something.
You would think every creditor of GM would be screaming at the way their claims have been swept aside...especially the secured creditors.
[Same with the Crysler creditors.]
