Soooooooo, you can have your National Healthcare Database medical records edited if you have had an abortion or have a sexually transmitted disease so it doesn't show up in the database. That's nice.
Why them and not the rest of us for things we want omitted? Is this not discrimination?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not opposed to those people. I'm not in favor of having ANY National Healthcare database at all. Period. It's nobody's d**n business what's in your medical records besides you and your doctors.
The National Healthcare database was passed in the Stimulus Bill and won't take effect until 2014. I urge you to vote anyone out of office that supports this huge intrusion into our business and not support any political candidate who doesn't promise to reverse it.
Look at this quote from the article:
The law specifically says that this “means an electronic record of health-related information on an individual that -- (A) includes patient demographic and clinical health information, such as medical history and problems lists; and (B) has the capacity -- (i) to provide clinical decision support; (ii) to support physician order entry; (iii) to capture and query information relevant to health care quality; and (iv) to exchange electronic health information with, and integrate such information from other sources.”
Notice the part I bolded. This is the part where they do database matching programs like matching your motor vehicle records to your health data. Got a DUI or two, no transplant for you. Got a lot of speeding tickets/car crashes - lowers your life expectancy - maybe we take you off life support or give you one of the lesser treatments because the treatment formula is based on number of years you are expected to live. Like matching your healthcare records to your store purchases recorded from your supermarket card. TSK, TSK, you bought too much sugary drinks last month, no pre-diabetes medication for you. Two cartons of cigarettes? Four six packs of beer? No green vegetables in 4 weeks? Red meat purchases three times in one week? Treatment - denied, denied, denied. BUT, we won't reduce your benefits. Here's a pain pill.
And look, it's one of those guys that comes from a family not noted for its sobriety (drugs, alcohol, reckless behavior) who thinks this is swell for the rest of us:
