We see this stuff about the lack of security for records constantly. Banks, credit cards--whatever is out there seems to be game for the bad guys.
Oh, I guess the american health care system. Good luck sicko's .
Enjoy your old age, full of drugs worse then anything you can find on the street, mountains of medical debt and people that just wish you'd die. Hope you are a good worker, so your means can find a righteous end.
We have been sold out!
It is just another marketing gimmick trying to solve non-existent problem by making it more expensive.
Affordable health care means:
- doctor stop charging $500 for 5 minute of exam without giving any treatment.
- And hospitals stop charging $10,000 for one night staying in the room receiving nothing but salt water through IV.
- build more medical schools and train a lot more doctors and nurse -- that solves the unemployment. problem as well; more supply, low costs
- And of course, lower mal-practice claims to not more than $1-2m, so new doctors can practice for a living.
The words, if I remember them, were 'The medical records of all Americans will be available electronically by the end of 2010.' Immediately thereafter there were e-mail announcements to ceratin states of 'trial' periods where you could sign up for your records to be included. But, all Medicare Records will be included by the end of 2010. There it is America.
If you have any Government Medical Coverage of any variety or level you will be in the electrronic medical records system. Even the doctors will probably be browbeat into submission on this one. Let me see; it'll be like this, "If you want to be able to see Medicare patients or any other patients who receive any form of government supplied medical care you will go electronic with your records."
Dadsgravy is one of the rare ones that walks on water. His tirade about whiteman's medicine tends to meake me think he should be concerned over this as the BIA is a government agency and their records will be in this pile - bet on that.
It will not take long for the Congress to enact laws to require states that get funds for Medicaid substitute progrrams to include persons that receive medical servces from those federally subsidized programs into the 'system.'
It's coming Barrak and Nancy will see to it.
They're going to take care of us - they said so.
BTW - I also have a big bridge in New York City (Between Brooklyn and Manhattan that I'll sell you for very littie down and the rest financed by AIG.

- When you're unconcscious and out of town and (let's say) at death's door, you'll be very grateful for your medical attendants having access to your health records. Or alternatively, possibly in no condition to feel anything about anything ...

(14 Comments)"Taking your health records online"? Hell, I want my health records ON BOARD -- let's cut out all these middle-men points-of-failure, circling like vultures for their piece of a potentially very lucrative new industry for very little effort. Give me an embedded chip, and I'll be more than happy to take responsibility for my own health records, and to tell anybody else who wants a piece of their management where to get off.
