(Updated 3/24/2010) Health Plan May Expose Medical Records to Hackers, Experts Fear
Fox News ^ | Updated 24 Mar 2010 | staff

President Obama's goal of digitizing all medical records by 2014 could be realized by his new health care law, which requires research and reporting through electronic health care records – a move that raises concerns among privacy advocates about government access to Americans' medical history.

President Obama's goal of digitizing all medical records by 2014 could be realized by his new health care law, which requires research and reporting through electronic health care records.

But privacy advocates fear that the speed at which the government is moving to digitize records will increase the risk of medical identity theft, and they are concerned about what the government will do once it has access to Americans' medical history.

The new law sets up a research center to compare the effectiveness of medical treatments, something critics fear will enable bureaucrats to start issuing justifications for denying patients access to the latest medical technology.

A far greater danger is exposing the records to “stupid” bureaucraps.

Mindless brain dead people who know nothing past what is on their computer screen.

Hackers do it for fun or profit, bureacraps do it to get-off on power.

Health records will effectively become public. There is no way they will remain private. Anyone who has a problem past or present they would rather not be known, they're out of luck unless they are a member of the nomenklatura, like Obama, where everything will be available to those with the privilege and the money.

Yep. A connection to an insider and a $100 bill will get you anyone’s medical records you want. Probably e-mailed to you in minutes.

Think Joe the Plumber with some goonyan employee with access to your medical records instead of tax records.

Yep.

But speaking of records, it is past time for RecordsGate. Obozo cannot hide his forever, surely someone powerful enough is already POed enough at him to do it now.

The Marxist-in-chief is exempt from this wonderful health care bill they passed. His records won’t be available.
