Question A Medical Version of the Patriot Act?

More slavery on the horizon? Privacy disappearing quickly.


A Medical Version of the Patriot Act?

By James Bovard
Published 04/08/09

The computerization of personal health care records is one of the showcases of the stimulus. President Obama promised: "We will make the immediate investments necessary to ensure that within five years all of America's medical records are computerized." Congress ponied up $19 billion to subsidize doctors and hospitals computerizing patient record and creating electronic health care tracking systems.

The ultimate goal of the Obama program is "the utilization of a certified electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014," as the stimulus legislation states. But having a massive electronic database will make it far easier for the government to coerce both doctors and patients. This is a peril as bad as or worse than the Patriot Act.

At this point, less than 20% of the nation's physicians have gone full speed on computerization. Obama's plan offers grants of between $40,000 and $65,000 to doctors' offices who computerize patient records, and up to a million dollars per hospital. But if health records are digitized on the federal dime, it will be far easier for politicians to claim the resulting information.

While the Obama administration is showing the smiley face now, its plan calls for federal penalties for doctors who have not computerized their records by the year 2014.

One of the goals for the new federally subsidized computers is to create systems able "to exchange electronic health information with, and integrate such information from other sources." This is a huge step towards a national database.

Team Obama and their congressional supporters promise that the government will scrupulously respect the privacy of the newly-computerized private medical data. This is reminiscent of President George Bush's 2004 false promise that no American was being wiretapped without a warrant.

Default Three Health Care Myths by Steve Bierfeldt

Three Health Care Myths

By Steve Bierfeldt
Director of Development detained by TSA at St. Louis airport for carrying cash. Interviewed on Judge Napolitano's 4/8/2009 "FREEDOM WATCH"
He recently co-authored the book Who Is the Real Barack Obama? http://www.amazon.com/Who-Real-Barac...mpaforliber-20

In writing this piece I'd like to offer a special thanks to Texas Residents Calvin Dennison, Whitfield Thomas, and Will Wohler for their continued support of the Campaign for Liberty.

While advocates of big government continue to speak of the need for "universal health care," those who understand the free market have pulled away the curtain to reveal the truth behind it.

For all its window dressing, "Universal health care" is merely a code word for socialized medicine. With leadership in both major parties shouting about the "health care crisis", it is vitally important that freedom loving-Americans know the facts and prepare themselves to counter the falsehoods that are being spread on this topic. Let us tackle some of the health care myths used by the proponents of big government in their advocacy for government run health care.
