          So you trust the Federal Government? by Peace_man 2007-10-08 22:42:43
ps_asu was commenting on how good it was that it WASN'T the Federal Government safeguarding the health information.

Of course, if the Feds wanted any of that information, the Patriot Act now gives them the right to demand it. And even the right to demand that you aren't told that they have it. So it doesn't really matter who has it - you have to trust the Feds to treat it confidentially.

So which is it? Should we trust the Federal Government to safeguard our health information? Or are we better off not having any of it stored anywhere? Of course, if it isn't stored anywhere, then it can't be used to benefit us in case of an emergency. Where we aren't able to communicate with the ambulance attendant, or the emergency room health care workers.

I guess it's a matter of taste - whether we want our information available despite the risks or not.
