freakoutnow... cuz mom's here 2012/03/15 18:10:15None of the above
+43I want the Democrats to stop using my womanhood for thier mostly liberal propaganda and them obessing over my vagina by fighting over my vagina. I want the Republicans to stop giving the Democrats reasons to be delusional overeacting because they think Republicans are trying to control my vagina through their conservatism when they may not even be interested in my vagina. Stop trying to provoke anti-Republican/anti-Conserva... with a Pro-Democrat/Pro-Liberal worded question with such propaganda.
The Government, regardless of what political party, does not have my consent.
But if you invite the government into your vagina, there it shall stay. The federal government is getting ready to build a health records database ("Obamacare"), when that happens then your vagina will become the business of the federal government.
And there is only one way to stop it from happening. ABO!
The real issue is, when "Obamacare" gets rolling (should Obama get reelected), all that needs to happen is for the federal government to get a copy of those record data bases, and wham, in a relatively short period of time there is a national health records database. No fuss, no mess. That should scare the crap out of most anyone.
The information you give via purchases to credit/debit card companies, banks (checks), and stores by using discount cards is all put into a company's database, and I am sure it is sold. Being as all of the mentioned companies have your birth date, and address at least, if not your SS#, it would be rather simple for an insurance company to match up a person's McDonald's eating, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking ways. Does it happen? Like you, I suspect it does, for it is another way to make/save money of course.
Digital health records are uncharted territory for most of us, but if hospitals and the federal government treats them the way the VA has, we may as well publish our records in the newspaper.
As far as EMR goes, it SUCKS. During solar flares, storms, and other connection/internet problems, EMR goes down and we are back to pen & paper. This means that we really have NO CLUE what you are allergic to, what you are taking medication wise or any health history on you. If you are in an accident and are left unable to speak for whatever reason and we cant get ahold ...

If you are in an accident and are left unable to speak for whatever reason and we cant get ahold of someone who knows you intimately when the EMR is down, we just as well as spin a wheel to determine how to help you. Govt knows this and I'm sure will push for a law where they can better track us in case of such emergencies and will play on patients fear....microchip? Probably coming to a hand near you soon!!
My doctor does not accept medicare/medicaid, and is aware that my medical records are my medical records and they go nowhere unless he gets signed permission from me. He also uses only paper records. I will keep things this way, and even pay out of pocket to do so. Of course, should I be hospitalized, or have tests done at the hospital, those records are certainly in "the system." Other than that, I do expect my doctor/patient relationship to be private, just like a lawyer/client relationship. I do not have anything to hide, it is the principle.
I am aware of how health care is run the way it is because of medicare/medicaid and the requirements that go along with those government programs. I was not aware of EMR being mandated already. Interesting. I was aware of the various questions that are asked, because I get photocopies of all my records, and took exception to the question about drug use, which I verbally answered "no", and was recorded as "denied." I was told that is the way they record "no" for that question. When I asked about why "no" was recorded for tobacco use, and various other lifestyle questions, they simply explained the drug use one is recorded as "denied" and not "no", and to not take it personally. I did, and ...

I did, and wanted it changed. The doctor refused again explaining why, and then with a laugh said he could prescribe me something, then I would have to answer "yes."
I actually have a binder, like the guy Patrick Swayze played in the movie "Roadhouse", and have taken that to the ER before. The Doctor was amused, but ultimately impressed, and gave me copies of every piece of paper work that was produced that day, without asking, and on the down low for free. It has gotten me taken as a serious patient, but never a paranoid one. The portability of EMRs is nice, but just as with any electronic records they can be hacked, or just left vulnerable (the latter already happened around here at our largest provider).
The bottom line is if government run health care becomes a reality, then there will be private health care (if it is not outlawed), and that is where you will find me, with my binder full of my health records from birth to death. They can bury it with me, as long as they put in the death certificate as the last page. LOL
The more people realize what is going on, the more uproar there will be. Whether or not it does any good, I do not know.
