Hi again,
What most people don't realize is that databases have been around for over 30 years.
I am very familiar with data collected by Equifax etc. Whenever I hired someone, he/she was checked through the agency. Interesting stuff comes out.
Another database is MIB, also located in Atlanta. This Bureau is collecting data on medical information that will be accessed if you purchase Life Ins., Health Ins. , etc.
Whenever you go to the doctor and an Insurance claim is submitted, it is stored in the Database.
Those are private companies, not the Government. It seems to me that the Government could save a lot of money if they just get a law passed being allowed to access that data, rather than develop a duplicate system?
By the way, this has nothing to do with whether I approve of this or not. I am not voicing an opinion, so people don't write back and tell me about what an idiot I am for going along.
It is just meant as Information.
