I live in Arizona and just got a letter from the Dept of Health and Human Services that Arizona and Utah residents can participate in the Medicare Personal Health Record program.

Private companies are doing it. Medicare can post your records to it. Of course they have privacy standards. I’ll bet. I’ll bet that the government private company partnership will never allow one entity to know what the other is doing.

This is scary. Scary.

The doctor patient confidentiality is being destroyed.

And your Social Security Number will never be used for identification purposes.

“The doctor patient confidentiality is being destroyed.”
