Brought to You By the People That Advocate Privacy Rights

Yet more violations of privacy found in ObamaCare or KennedyCare. Again, these are the same people that previously were all in a tizzy about privacy violations, mostly abortion and the Patriot Act. I've not heard one leftist display similar outrage at any the privacy violations in KennedyCare. Items are from CBS News.

"Section 431(a) of the bill says that the IRS must divulge taxpayer identity information, including the filing status, the modified adjusted gross income, the number of dependents, and "other information as is prescribed by" regulation. That information will be provided to the new Health Choices Commissioner and state health programs and used to determine who qualifies for "affordability credits."

Section 245(b)(2)(A) says the IRS must divulge tax return details -- there's no specified limit on what's available or unavailable -- to the Health Choices Commissioner. The purpose, again, is to verify "affordability credits."

Section 1801(a) says that the Social Security Administration can obtain tax return data on anyone who may be eligible for a "low-income prescription drug subsidy" but has not applied for it.

I had reported earlier that you will have a government health care card that you must present when you go to see if a government bureaucrat will allow you medical procedures, surgery or service. The government will, also with this information deduct payment from your credit or debit card.

Tom Giovanetti, Institute for Policy Innovation, "How many thousands of federal employees will have access to your records? The privacy of your health records will be only as good as the most nosy, most dishonest and most malcontented federal employee.... So say good-bye to privacy from the federal government. It was fun while it lasted for 233 years."
