Obamacare Centralized Medical Database Nightmare Just Happened to My Daughter

One of the aspects of Obamacare that everyone seems to have forgotten at the moment is their effort to put everyone’s personal information, medical and otherwise, into a central database. With this system in place, you can kiss your HIPPA privacy goodbye. Last week, we heard from our youngest daughter that she was receiving doctor’s bills from a doctor she’s never seen. Some of the bills were from visits earlier this year and because they have not been paid, her credit score has been dinged. When she checked into it, she found out that the doctor’s office had her birthdate, address and Social Security Number. They submitted the bills to our daughter’s Medicade coverage and then billed her for the rest. As you can imagine, she was frantic, thinking someone had stolen her identity so she called the local police. After taking her report, the police officer called my wife for more information. He basically told my wife that he believes that our daughter had sought medical treatment at this doctor’s office and either forgot or was trying to get out of paying the bill. My wife explained that our daughter lives in northern Kentucky and the doctor’s office is on the west side of Cincinnati in an area that our daughter would never go to.

When I heard what happened, my first suspicion was that it wasn’t identity theft as much as it was identity mix-up due to the Obamacare centralized database and told my wife and daughter of my suspicion. About an hour later, the policeman called my daughter to tell her that the doctor’s office treated someone else with the same name and they somehow pulled up my daughter’s information by mistake. Since my daughter had never visited that doctor’s office or any other office associated with this practice, the only way this mistake could have happened is that they got my daughter’s information through the centralized database created by Obamacare. The doctor’s office said they are correcting the billing and will notify the credit score agency, but this has revealed a two-fold major problem with the centralized database that I predicted from the beginning. First, mix-ups like this will happen more and more and innocent people that aren’t that alert will be paying other peoples doctor bills or their credit scores will suffer from it. Second, anyone with access to the centralized database will have access to anyone’s personal information including address, Social Security number, insurance policy name and number and more. Tens of thousands of medical, insurance and government workers have access to the centralized database and everything they need to steal your identity or more. If I were you, I would be very careful about every medical bill you get and check your credit score regularly. You may have no idea when it could happen to you.

Hey, I've got the perfect solution.

Let's implant an electronic ID chip in everyone's forehead. That way, they can be easily scanned at the desk or counter when they arrive for treatment or medicines and there can be no mistakes either in the treatments or in the billings!

Doesn't that sound good?? /s/

>> “ I guess I should check to see if she’s still voting!” <<

.
Good idea!

Could be how marxist fools like Ann Buchanan keep getting elected.

[editor-surveyor]

>> “0mabacare database started after this happened...” <<

.
Bad news: The feds glommed everyone’s medical records several years ago.

[editor-surveyor]

>> “Doesn’t that sound good?” <<

.
Give it another 10 years.

Case in point, Steve Bridges did a devastating parody of obam at a press conference, showing him flying into a rage and storming out kicking the door open.

Next thing you know, Steve Bridges is dead.

Anaphylactic shock.

Having everyone's medical records and knowing their allergies can be a very handy thing...

What a perfect system to allow illegal aliens the ability to get medical services under someone else’s name!

Just as they use someone else’s social security number.

[grania]

Another huge problem is that any diagnosis, correct or not, is never going to disappear from ones permanent medical records. Another huge one is the impressions from any mental health wellness (or any other) interview are there forever.

I'm not answering personal questions from doctors anymore, beyond objective data....and not even that if it's too nosy.

[editor-surveyor]

Bill and Hill knew that too!

They knew that Vince Foster’s and Ron Brown’s skulls were allergic to cylindrical lead objects.

****It appears that the primary mistake was the woman signing up for the centralized data base.****

The primary mistake is that the centralized database exists for the woman to sign up for.

[bert]

The primary mistake is the woman is basically incompetent. She places blame for her own tardy attention to her bills

[ResponseAbility]

***tardy attention to her bills***

What tardy attention to her bills? She caught the problem and dealt with it. The part about the visits to the doctor being earlier in the year are someone else’s visits.

Similarly, I have a friend who applied for a CCW in North Carolina. It was denied due to his having "multiple felonies". The guy's never been arrested in his life.

After much correspondence, time and gas (trips to the office that was 45 minutes away), it was revealed that supposedly another guy with the same name's information was pulled when they were going through the application process.

First, mix-ups like this will happen more and more and innocent people that aren’t that alert will be paying other peoples doctor bills or their credit scores will suffer from it. Second, anyone with access to the centralized database will have access to anyone’s personal information including address, Social Security number, insurance policy name and number and more

And just wait till they start issuing orders to the doctors to match client with the care required....and prescriptions....don't forget all those complex prescription orders.

I see not just amputations on the wrong limb....but on the wrong patient.

and don't expect quick response for a broken arm:

And so you have an acute appendix....?

Mark Wattson, 35, from Swindon may have been the victim of botched surgery after he had to have his appendix removed twice

To his shock, surgeons from the same team told him that not only was his appendix still inside him, but it had ruptured - a potentially fatal complication.

In a second operation it was finally removed, leaving Mr Wattson fearing another organ might have been taken out during the first procedure.

The blunder has left Mr Wattson jobless, as bosses at the shop where he worked did not believe his story and sacked him.

Mr Wattson told of the moment he realised there had been a serious mistake.

'I was lying on a stretcher in terrible pain and a doctor came up to me and said that my appendix had burst,' he said.

'I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I told these people I had my appendix out just four weeks earlier but there it was on the scanner screen for all to see.

'I thought, "What the hell did they slice me open for in the first place?"

'I feel that if the surgery had been done correctly in the first place I wouldn't be in the mess I am today. I'm disgusted by the whole experience.'

Mr Wattson first went under the knife on July 7 after experiencing severe abdominal pain for several weeks. He was discharged but exactly a month later he had to dial 999 after collapsing in agony. Mr Wattson

Mr Wattson was readmitted to the Great Western Hospital in Swindon after his appendix ruptured.

130,000 elderly patients killed every year by ‘death pathway’, claims leading UK doctor

by Thaddeus Baklinski Thu Jun 21, 2012 10:02 EST Tags: euthanasia, patrick pullicino, uk

LONDON, June 21, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An eminent British doctor told a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine in London that every year 130,000 elderly patients that die while under the care of the National Health Service (NHS) have been effectively euthanized by being put on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), a protocol for care of the terminally ill that he described as a “death pathway.”

Sit back and enjoy your Obamacare.

. I know a 63-year-old single male with low income and high assets who is paying $350+/- a month for State Medicaid.

Medicaid is not like insurance where you ‘pay’ a stated amount every month. That $350 is considered a share of cost for medical services for 1 month. In other words if you have medical bills for November you have to pay $350 before Medicaid will pay the rest. Then the $350 starts again in December.
It actually is a helluva deal for anyone who has high medical bills. The share of cost can go all the way down to $0 based on your income.
Yes I used to be a MediCal eligibility worker in California. That is what Cali calls its Medicaid.

That prevarication is not called for.
The House worked over and over and over to end Obamacare.did you notice, i was criticizing the Congressional ldrs....
The GOP Congress members worked hard..the leadership "sat-on" their hands..actually working against it.
