"Big brother to log your drinking habits and waist size as GPs are forced to hand over confidential records"

[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

"GPs are to be forced to hand over confidential records on all their patients’ drinking habits, waist sizes and illnesses.

The files will be stored in a giant information bank that privacy campaigners say represents the ‘biggest data grab in NHS history’.

They warned the move would end patient confidentiality and hand personal information to third parties.
--The data includes weight, cholesterol levels, body mass index, pulse rate, family health history, alcohol consumption and smoking status.

Diagnosis of everything from cancer to heart disease to mental illness would be covered. Family doctors will have to pass on dates of birth, postcodes and NHS numbers."

WAKE UP.

This has already crossed the pond.

With the passing of the Health Information Privacy and Portability Act (PRE OBAMA) about what at least 7 years ago?? (not sure on date) everything changed in this country regarding your records and healthcare.

In fact providers in this nation have until the end of 2014 to get to stage 2 and the deadline is by 2015 that they have to prove meaningful use. This means everyone in this nation has to be charting patient data electronically. If they fail to do this, they will be fined hugely by the government, as the government will refuse to reimburse medicare completely (down to 1%). Every provider in this nation is forced to have your health information electronic!

Also, to incentivize (is that a word? sue me) further, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (AKA the Stimulus Bill put out by OBAMA) providers can get back over 44,000 to 64,000 PER DOCTOR in extra incentive cash just by implementing their EMRs on target meeting targets and deadlines. (Can you imagine how much money that is for healthcare systems that have 1000's of doctors in them?)

This is a huge push right now happening in this nation. Everything is electronic.

Let me tell you everything is tracked. EVERYTHING.

Data files are loaded and shared to the government daily among other bigger fish like the WHO. Do you know the WHO is? They are like the 'illuminati' of health care worldwide.

oh yes I want to also tag onto this the extra 6 to 8 each doctor gets for participating in electronic prescription. This means all RX data is electronic data is saved, shared, uploaded too! Tons of money out there going towards this movement.

Completely and totally on target. I won't sue you for "incentivize", but I will buy you a drink and toast to our decline.;)

If we think it's bad now, wait a couple of years. "Medical tourism" to other countries for medical care will become a very thriving business in the coming years.

And much like everything else in the US, our status in the World just gets sadder and more pathetic.

Aren't each and every one of them?

I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see them come out and spend three day with us in a course-

Movement at elevation (8,500' up to 10,000'+)
Procuring/ purifying their own water
Procuring/ rationing their own food
Building shelter
Cutting firewood
Creating fire

And do it again the following day

And again the next

All without interns or other assistants, no phones or computers, - all you have with you is what you carry in; no one waiting on you hand and foot while you destroy the country.

Then you can tell me what/ when/ how I eat, drink, chew Copenhagen, or even smoke if I feel so inclined.

Any odds how long the majority of them would last?
