Posted: 2/7/11 at 3:04pmWhat part of "everything has to be reported to the Secretary and the Secretary can dispense the info anyway they see fit" don't you understand?

Posted: 2/7/11 at 3:11pmGoth, I understand those words fine. I just don't see them in the bits you've quoted.

Posted: 2/7/11 at 3:11pmYou can try to parse the words any way you want, but there just isn't any confidential patient data being transmitted. For what it's worth, insurers already review provider efficiency, and it's all done without breaching patient confidentiality. So don't worry, you can tell your doc that the cream isn't clearing up that rash, and it won't be posted here on BWW.

Wait, so you are claiming the data aggregation requirement to find the most effective forms of treatment are bad?
This is extracted aggregated data that usually is based upon a geographic area to determine what procedures are working effectively (or not). This is not typically individually identifiable information, but usually is depersonalized and aggregated to look at experiences to track trends and try and find what works and what does not.
You probably already provide much of this information to your state regulators.

"Wait, so you are claiming the data aggregation requirement to find the most effective forms of treatment are bad?"
I never made that claim. What I am saying is that there is no guarantee that with your private information flying all the way to Washington DC and back, there's a huge loss of freedom.
You are 100% certain that in the future, your health information will always remain confidential?
Whatever happened to healthcare is between a doctor and patient?

You mean the records insurance companies must access before they will approve specific treatments, medicines or procedures?

"Whatever happened to healthcare is between a doctor and patient?"
You must be joking? Complete privacy between a doctor and a patient goes out the window the minute any third party enters into the mix. Whether it be an insurance company, a nurse, a secretary, a billing department, a pharmacy or the CDC.
"You are 100% certain that in the future, your health information will always remain confidential?
I'm not 100% certain it ever has been.

"Complete privacy between a doctor and a patient goes out he window the minute any third party enters into the mix."
Exactly. But the way it used to work is that you didn't have to get a third party invovled. Now that the government will control everything it will be government and whomever the government decides needs to know.

Maybe in the 19th century.

i know it's a lot more fun to play with goth and makes everyone feel better about themselves, but as you are doing that, the government is seeking to exercise more control over the internet for it and other governments:

"i know it's a lot more fun to play with goth and makes everyone feel better about themselves..."
Nothing could be further from the truth. I'd MUCH prefer discussing realistic points of disagreement.

Here's my face when I read a goth post...
#38meanwhile, back at the series of tubes known as the interwebs
Posted: 2/8/11 at 8:56amI have been well aware that there is no such thing as doctor/patient confidentiality since I was 16 and had to send topless photos of myself to my insurance company. At 16, I couldn't get healthcare uninsured. Everyone had to send those topless photos, right?

Posted: 2/8/11 at 9:11ami had to submit to multiple body cavity searches by insurance "inspectors"...and send them topless photos of jg2.
