Drug cops want open access to your medical records

[mrjarrell]

The hits just never stop and there are plenty of politicians out there willing to give them unfettered access to your records all in the name of their war on drugs. Indiana's bad enough, but this crap is getting worse all across the nation and will likely get even worse here, as they get their buddies in the legislatures to make new laws giving them access to our information. Here's a clue. If my doctor prescribes something for me that's between me and him (and the pharmacist). Not some donut eating coffee swiller intent on taking down someone for a made up "crime". Stay out of my damned records.

Drug cops want open access to your medical records

I agree its none of their damn business. Hopefully they eventually go out of business! (Drug cops)

So what did anyone think the reason for the electronic, government run database was going to be? All the protestations against invading our privacy will be for naught. Little by little the government will grab a bit here and a bt there until ultimately nothing in your life can be considered private because it will all be considered for the greater good.

I'm pretty sure this already exists in Indiana through the INSPECT program. Very handy as a prescribing healthcare provider but I think LEO have access to it also. LEO please chime in, I don't know what the site access looks like to you guys but I did take a survey as a provider and some of the questions (like 'do you think restrictions should be placed on LEO access...If yes, require suspicion, warrant, court order?) made it sound like they already have access, but wanted our opinions on how we felt about it. It read like a politician wanted some stats to support statements like "x% of healthcare providers are OK with LEO having access to this database" come time to defend the fact that they have had it for a while.

Nailed it!

Don't worry Comrades! Big Brother knows best and is only watching out for us all to create a more glorious society!

Shades of M-M-Max Headroom in the future. I can see the 'advantage' of being 'Blank Reg'.

 

[VN Vet]

I must give written permission for each family member to access to my medical records and to allow my Doctor to speak with them. If anyone gives my Medical Records to anyone outside my Family and the VA, I will not be a happy camper.

Once ObamaCare has all of the records in house Hippa is out the window anyway. They will do exactly what they want with them, F&%^ your privacy.

And there are plenty of Republicans that are involved in trying to move this dreck forward.

But you have to vote for Republicans, it's the only way to fix things

I'm a street cop, the only info I have access to is DL and plate info from the BMV, warrants, and criminal history for Marion County. Unless you have a communicable disease and get blood or some other body fluid on me, I could give two ****s about your medical records.
