i knew this was coming back a few years ago when they began putting everyone’s medical info into a digital database— one of my docs quit his practice to go work on the project- that was right around the time docs also began asking people whether or not they had guns in the house-, and later, the obama administration started laying the groundwork for gun confiscation by pushing the idea that people on, or had ever been on, any type of mind drug like antidepressants, anti-psychotic drugs etc were not stable enough to own guns

Apparently this whole crap has been i nthe works for a long time now

Can we not sue because our personal information has been breached?
How much longer do we put up with this?

It depends on how it’s done.

These companies are providing cloud services and hosting software and databases in the cloud for their customers.

If they are signing third party data agreements to provide data processing services and to limit data access and respect HIPPA laws, then they are like any other data processing vendor that works with hospitals.

If they are using the data but the data has been modified so that it’s no longer patient identifiable, then that’s acceptable use under HIPPA.

If they are using the data to create a health or consumer marketing profile on individuals, then that would be a huge violation of HIPPA.

I think the lead up stared with Dubya, Porkulus, and EMRs.

HIPPA has nothing to do with you: its all about them. They carved out exceptions for themselves in every conceivable way. They just won’t talk to your wife or family without a lot of hassle.

Besides, don’t you realize that you do NOT own your medical records? They do.

For the minor good emrs supposedly do, the negatives are much more profound and irreversible, imho.
