How’s this not a violation of HIPAA??
I’ve known for some time that the accepted practice is for newborns to be assigned a social security number before they even leave the hospital, and I thought that was scary, but a conversation I had with a young mother recently left me appalled.
She said that her baby had to go to the hospital because he was having seizures.
“Why,” I asked, “is he having seizures?”
“It’s because of the high fever he gets every time he has an immunization shot,” she replied. “It happened last time, too.”
“Why,” I prodded, “if he has seizures every time he gets one of these shots, do you keep getting them?”
“Oh,” she said, sounding alarmed, “if he doesn’t have a complete record of these immunizations by the time he’s old enough for preschool, they won’t accept him!”
God help us.
Student motivation is provided by teachers and parents, not government. And more teachers who can instill a sense of wonder and impetus about what a dedicated, determined person can accomplish are what's needed, not government agencies tracking people from cradle to the grave. Schools and parents keeping track of student progress is one thing, the federal government doing it and sharing the information within and among other agencies is not needed. I wonder how long before Johnny's and Jane's information ends up in an expanded Homeland Security agency?

I always tell myself it's a little humility reminder.
In Feb. of 2008, Cliff Kincaid wrote in the DC Journal about “Bath-House” Barry’s Global Tax Proposal; this included the “Convention on the Rights of the Child”, as well as making the U.N. “the indispensable common house of the entire human family, through which we will seek to realize our universal aspirations for peace, cooperation and development.”
Essentially, “Bath-House” Barry wants the U.N. to raise our children.
We knew of this in Feb. of 2008....but we didn’t vote for “Bath-House” Barry because of the color of his skin./sarc.
Imagine 4 more years of Obama/democrat rule.
They way things are going, it’s possible, it’s very possible....
Bump that...and your tagline, too!
Gotta love those toddler fingerprinting drives the local cops do every year. It’s all about “safety” dontchaknow.
The purpose of HIPAA was to make patients sign there privacy rights away in order to get treated and avoid any lawsuits with what they were already doing with your medical information.
Yeah, you’re probably right.
These SOBs are going way too far.
How the feds are tracking your kid (more than just watching!)
The administration wants this data to include much more than name, address and test scores. According to the National Data Collection Model, the government should collect information on health-care history, family income and family voting status. In its view, public schools offer a golden opportunity to mine reams of data from a captive audience.
The departments eagerness to get control of all this information is almost palpable. But current federal law prohibits a nationwide student database and strictly limits disclosure of a students personal information. - So the department has determined that it can overcome the legal obstacles by simply bypassing Congress and essentially rewriting the federal privacy statute.

Thanks thouworm.
That has been taking place for some time now.
I guess you missed my reply to my own post. (see #10)
Off hand, I’d say you are cracking up...
