Feeling Good About Security Of Medical Records

As you know Jug Hussein Ears is gonna somehow cut health care costs by putting everyone's health care records on line. Of course, he assures us, they will remain safe and confidential. After reading this (third item), I have a real good feeling about the security of our medical records.

The government’s inadvertent Internet posting of a 266-page list of U.S. nuclear sites provided a one-step guide for anyone wanting details about uranium storage locations, nuclear fuel fabrication plants and nuclear research facilities. Obama administration officials said Wednesday the document contained no classified material about nuclear weapons, and that the information was available from public sources. The Government Printing Office removed the information from its Web site after being told about its sensitive nature. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the release exposed lax safeguards and asked congressional investigators to review the incident.

Now, aren't you confident that your medical records will remain confidential? But that's OK. If they don't, Speaker Blinker will ask for a congressional review.

Nancy Pelosi wants congressional investigators to review this incident? How about they review that lying ass bitch first.

I also liked the news article that said it was "ok" because it had been removed from the internet. Once on the internet, always on the internet, asshats.

My old family doctor still has the ancient filing system where everything that happens in his office is handwritten on the chart by him and his nurse, as it happens. Doesn't trust the internet one bit. Of course, he adds, hospitals reveal all about you to any Tom, Dick, Harry and Jane who will work for one hour on the floor where you're recovering from surgery. Nothing is classified material anymore. Not in a bank, either. If you want to keep it secret, write it down. Lock the files. That's his advice. But where is it done?

If it is so sensitive, why is it available from public records? Those idiots really give me a headache. Claudia, you should hope that health care reform doesn't pass, or your doctor will probably be forced to put all his records on computer or risk losing Medicare/Medicaid payments.

Denise - I'm in Canada. We've been socialised for a long time but it will never go as far as USA when the Obama Administration takes your health care system over. We still have some options. Unless of course Canada decides to ape Obama...God helps us!

Claudia, you racist! Don't you know that you shouldn't use ape and Obama in the same sentence?

Only because it's an insult to the integrity and intelligence of apes, Denny.

Just snigger off, Denny. Let me have my black mood. I'm not in Atlanta here...:-)

Claudia - Too bad you aren't coming to Camp Blownstar.

Posted by: Denny on June 5, 2009 10:54 PM

Yep, Denny. It's a bummer...Well, if I get fixed up well enough, maybe next year. 80 ain't that old after all. And SuperGurl said she would look after me. CD could help her. As long as you would bring the French wine, and your guitar, things would be OK. Let's hope....
