Bush didn't change, apparently, the most onerous provisions of these regulations, among which is unfettered access by the federal government to your private medical records, which must be surrendered on demand to the federal government. These changes are pablum, and designed to make you think Bush is actually doing something to restore your freedom and privacy to have confidential medical care and private medical records. He isn't. The federales can come in and demand your records from your doctor, and sell the information as well. That's what was in the original regs by Clinton.
Tommy Thompson is a moron, and Bush is a liar. But we knew that, didn't we, after this CFR debacle.
