I smell a Demonrat campaigner...
Well, in that case, I suggest reading the actual source material, rather than the gloss on the White House's document.
How do I know it's the actual source material? Because the White Houes's document references its page.
Here it is, check it yourself:
Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health Care in America
Your nose is up your own ass.
Clinton signed it. 1996, if I remember correctly.
Have you kept a count of how many times you've posted that WH link? I don't feel like going back and re-reading this entire thread.
Thanks for the personal attack.
Duly noted.
" Give it a rest; Bush is not trying to sedate the nation.
And, thanks for hefting your weight around. Since your assertion is presented as being of more merit than mine -- even though mine is backed up by original source materials (supplied to silence the incessant whiners who refused to pull their noses away from WND) -- and, even though yours is backed up by... your demand, I'll weigh your command, and in due time, grant it whatever action it merits.
You are right! HIPAA was fully implemented in April 2003....at least that's when all involved had to comply.
Ever since they banned my assault weapon, took away my right to withhold ID from a cop if he's got no good reason to know it, decided to spend billions of my tax money (under a republican administration), denied my right to fund commercials for a political cause 60 days before an election, decided it was okay to seize my property whether or not a drug crime was committed with it, and decided to force-screen me and my countrymen for mental illness.
Well, yeah, but apart from that, you've got nothing to bitch about, right?
C'mon, admit it!
Check with your optometrist. You ain't seein' what I been sayin'.
Thanks for the link. I got mine from the White House. I'll rely on that.
*sound of DJ banging head on desk*
Good f'n grief.
WHERE THE HELL do you think I GOT that document that I linked?
Hint 1: I got it FROM the White House's document.
Hint 2: It's what the White House is BASING its program on.
God save this country...
This is what the White House webpage says about the link you all are quoting:
"On April 29, 2002, the President issued Executive Order 13263 establishing the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. Composed of fifteen members representing providers, payers, administrators, and consumers of mental health services, as well as family members of consumers, and seven ex officio members, the Commission was charged with conducting “a comprehensive study of the United States mental health service delivery system, including public and private sector providers,” and was directed to advise the President on methods of improving the system. In July 2003, the Commission issued its recommendations in a final report entitled Achieving the Promise, Transforming Mental Health Care in America. See http://www.mentalhealthcommission.gov/reports/reports.htm. The report identifies barriers to care within the mental health system and examples of community-based care models that have proven successful in coordinating and providing treatment services."
The report has recommendations yes, BUT THE WHITE HOUSE page has outlined what it took from the report. If I didn't know the reputation that you have, I'd be surprised at your polemics. You don't surprise. Ever.
It's patently obvious, you've already done too much of that in the past.
HIPAA sucks! I was offered a chance to sign it when I went to an osteopath last year for a little back crack. Of course refusing to sign it would mean no treatment. No fault of the doc's either. If he didn't get my John Henry his ass would be in a sling.
Well, I gotta admit, they haven't quartered troops in my house!
Hold on, be right back. Doorbell.

Just as several of us noted your post to Dane early in this thread, where you put, "GFYS."
Personally, I agree with Boxford.
Clinton signed the HIPAA Act in 1996. Don Joe is mistaken. Hasn't bothered to acknowledge that, though.
Clinton signed it. 1996, if I remember correctly.
Google is your friend.
Query for the words HIPAA and Bush
From first link it returned, Administration Fails First HIPAA Privacy Check-Up:
The Privacy Rule, mandated by Congress in the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), was issued by the Clinton administration, and President Bush allowed it to become law in 2001.There are over 32,000 other links that query will return. Knock yerself out.
Gee, I love you too.
GFYS stands for "Girl Friend, You Sexy!!!"
Now that advances an argument.
Why would any sane person want the Federal Government to do this?
Where does it get the authority to do any of that?
