Political Factoid

No longer is "doctor-patient"
personal medical information very private.
  • The courts have long ruled that
    any observations, measurements,
    analyses, etc. made by a doctor
    belong to the doctor,
    not to the patient.
     
  • Patients are coerced into signing
    permission for the doctor to
    share their medical information
    with insurance companies, and
    a host of other players with
    their hands in the game.*
     
  • That information is worth lots of
    money to many big companies
    (as evident by their willingess to pay
    heartily for it
    ).
* Most are located off shore, or
for certain, out-of-state.
