Brings a whole new meaning to "death panels."

Bzrezinsky’s wet dream of a technocratic totalitarian rule is coming together nicely, it would appear. The more data and control over the sheeple the closer to the fruition of the Technocracy agenda is.
Kinda funny you saying that on Free Republic ... LOL ...
“AND ... with “deductibles” ... I don’t pay a single deductible on any doctor’s visit, any lab work, any X-ray, any CAT-scan, “
Good for you. Most of us working peasants have to pay hefty deductibles & co-pays. Goverment worker, trust fund baby, Medicaid recipient, Medicare advantage?
BTW, you pay a co-pay on an individual service such as a CT scan, x-Ray; a deductible is amount you pay before the insurance company starts to pay. But, I know you’ll say you already knew that. LOL back to u!
Well, I pay the Medicare premium, and I pay the Supplemental premium. I haven’t worked for the government, I don’t have a trust fund for me, I haven’t ever received Medicaid, and I haven’t had Medicare Advantage. And then, are you saying that I shouldn’t have retired, so I can be a working peasant? ... LOL ...
You see how easy it is to get things wrong, all the way around ... :-) ...
As far as the co-pay is concerned ... it’s wrong terminology on my part, but it gets the idea across ... NADA, NOTHING ...
Good for Babbage. And Ada Lovelace.
Being a child of a Holocaust survivor, I just don’t like centralized medical records. I love tech but....

Don’t be silly. I saw on tv how all these databases can magically talk to one another and the government can pull up all the information on anything, and anyone, at anytime.
Seriously, the problems are huge, but big data systems have the ability to cross link data that are not normalized. Its not always 100%, (no data is), but it is pretty amazing.
SGML has been in the same boat since the 1960s—it is really impossible to reliably define all the elements in any specialty, much less the world. Luckily, we can now extract/interpolate the results in a manner that (somewhat logically) allows for type errors and missing attributes.
Nothing funny about it.
Well, it sure seems funny to me ... being that Free Republic is on the Internet, and you’re issuing your warning from the Internet ... :-) ...
Now please go away or I’ll begin to think you’re wanting a confrontation.
Here’s the thing about that ... those doctors and hospitals and labs and insurance companies have ALREADY had all their data on computer data systems for YEARS ... and they will continue to have it on their data systems. It was ME ... as a patient ... who couldn’t get access to their systems ... LOL ...
NOW ... for the first time, I’m actually getting access to their systems. I suppose you want to cut off my access to their systems, eh?! ... :-) ...
