[wa3zrm]

HIPAA is why there's a new plan to share your data. A 28-page federal document proposes to share your medical records with 37 federal agencies. (See graphic of the week below). The deadline for public comments on this sweeping intrusion is Friday, February 6, 2015. Go here to tell them what you think.
Without privacy, you have no control. He who holds the data makes the rules. The Obama administration is gathering your data to seize control of your doctor.

Here are just 10 ways government may use your data, ICD-10, mandated EHRs and Health IT to harm you:

1. Research conducted on all Americans to develop standardized protocols.
2. Standardized treatment protocols imposed on non-standardized patients.
3. Research-based health care rationing according to your productivity, age, etc.
4. Penalties on doctors who refuse to follow one-size-fits-all treatment protocols.
5. "Team-based care" directed by computerized protocols, not your physician.
6. Charging doctors with fraud if fail to follow standardized treatment protocols.
7. Eliminating medical innovation through standardized treatment protocols.
8. Using race/sexual orientation data to accuse doctors of civil rights violations.
9. Locating the uninsured and the unvaccinated for penalties and enforcement.
10. Genetic and medical profiling of individuals and families.
ACTION ITEM: When you see a clinician, ask them: 1) what one person is in charge of your care; 2) are they following a computerized treatment protocol; 3) is there a treatment better suited for you, and if so, why are they not prescribing it; and 4) are they being "scored" (measured) on any treatments they just prescribed for you.

The argument over centralized medical information will go on for a while, it has been argued for a while already. For personal benefit, I would love to have a disc or thumb drive to give to a new doctor or specialist with all of my info on it.......the redundancy of filling out so many pages with mostly "no" checked in the boxes is tiresome.

Does anyone anticipate the next election being run on the platform of repealing all of this?

Does anyone anticipate the next election being run on the platform of repealing all of this?

For the GOP, I'd say it's a damn near certainty.

[Burnsey]

I have no doubt that the GOP will make noise about repealing Obama Care, but the odds are against them doing much now, there are real people enrolled in the program. They may chip away at it though.

Bear in mind that the article above was written by the Citizen's Council for Health Freedom, at least they identify what they are about!
