The Medical Police State




LRC Blog reports:
Now when you visit a doctor, you are required by DC decree to submit an official photo ID to be scanned into your record, even if you have been a patient there for years. And all your medical records must be put online. If a doctor resists, thinking that his patients' confidential records should be kept on paper in a locked filing cabinet, he faces huge financial penalties. When the previous fuhrer arranged this, with enthusiastic Republican help - as Reagan earlier ended financial privacy - there was little protest. But now we face this: the organs of state security can call up all information on you: legal, medical, financial, etc. Oh, and you will have no secrets from the Obama National Health Service. Make that the Obama Euthanasia Service.
