Does this mean that we finally get to see President Clinton's medical records?

Actually no. Because the gov't officials are treated at Bethesda's Naval Hospital, the database programs which are involved at Walgren's are unlikely to be collecting data at the pharmacy at the Naval Hospital.

The fact is that database data is being collected on prescriptions filled at pharmacies. But, the worse fact is that datawarehouses (1 or 2 in particular) are making money as intermediaries between health insurers and doctor's offices. Each time you visit your doctor's office, the office must submit the claim through the electronic datawarehouse. There are only a few datawarehouses in the country. So, basically, in order to get paid, the doctor MUST submit the claim through the datawarehouse. This data includes your identity, the duration of the visit, your specific diagnoses, tests ordered, and any special procedures done to treat your illness. The specificity of this data was determined by Clinton Administration regulations from the Health Care Finance Administration. These regulations specify that at any time any of your medical records MUST be available to gov't agents for review. These agents can do unannounced spot audits of medical charts in private physician offices. Multiple physician offices have been invaded by these federal agents and doctors continue to be threatened with JAIL TIME if they do not permit the review of these charts by federal agents.

These ridiculous threats are damaging the ability of doctors to help the American people. I find these threats to be testimony to the SOCIALISTIC intent of Hillary Clinton and the DNC. AAP clearly has supported these endeavors in an attempt to give legitimacy to the invasion of privacy by government.
