ObamaCare Rule: HHS, IRS Can Share Private Health Information

The HHS has issued a new rule that allows sharing YOUR personal health data when You are seeking insurance from one of those new exchanges.

Not so private anymore is it?

Every nosy bureaucrat will take a look. They get a kick out of it.

The IRS is responsible for ObamaCare enforcement.

They will certainly amass a large database of medical information for tax collecting purposes.

This rule comes to us by unelected officials.

Surprise Surprise

Though millions of Americans sign forms in their doctors’ offices which claim their personal health information is protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a new ObamaCare rule requires federal and local agencies and health insurers to trade the personal health data of any person interested in signing up for the new state exchanges.

ObamaCare Rule: HHS, IRS Can Share Private Health Information

How are you feeling today?

It seems that these agencies are more concerned about money and procedures than your health.

It's their jobs after all.

Ehh, they can have my info....there isnt anything good in my file.
I dont do doctors, medicine or hospitals.

IMO it is the #1 conspiracy worldwide

There's been a change.

Only the government gets privacy now.

Amen . I think most of my files are over 7 years old . They might be gone . That also begs the question ,how far back do they go . Most medical files are destroyed after 7 years .

2004 is the last time I had to go to a doctor .

The IRS is nothing less than a thug agency intended to extract wealth form the common folk and disburse back to the gold collar puppet masters - have no biz in my health records (or lack there of) since I don't see docs I shouldn't have any records.
Abolish the IRS - see:

Surely that makes sense?

'Hi, I'd like new health insurance please.'
'OK, we'll need to see your personal health data.'
'No, you have to assess me using calculated guesses.'

LOL, what? Why would they be interested, and how would they get a kick out of it.

Let's say that YOU, in particular, are the bureaucrat. The patient records belong to Rupert Murdoch.

Let's say he had an STD, or maybe he has Alzheimers.

What if the patient is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America?

You get it.

If you don't pay into the government coffers, via the IRS, I can imagine that your care will be adjusted accordingly.

If you DO pay into the tax system, then they might also adjust your care.

Basically, your care will be determined by how productive you are to the Collective.

I think the only thing left to retort, when these posts come up is just to shake my head in udder disgust and shame that America has allowed it's Govt to become this raging Authoritative monster on steroids.

To anyone still thinking that Big Govt will save you, you really are a fool.

For the IRS to access my health records?

HTH does that make sense?

Please...anything but Brietbart...they are as credible as thier birther campaign.

reply to post by xuenchen


Yawn...More Briebart..let's take 4 minutes to find the BS..

Briebart cites Washington examiner..

Washington Examiner cites the gov doc

The ruling, explained on pages 72-73 of the book-thick guidance

LINK


Hunting down the gov doc and looking at the pages cited...
s3.amazonaws.com...

It allows HHS to cross reference what coverage someone has through other Gov. Assistance ...Medicaid, Veteran's Services etc. to make sure they aren't double paying...or that the gov isn't insuring them twice.

Such agencies or programs may include but are not limited to Veterans Health Administration, TRICARE, and
Medicare.

AND

which will comply with all appropriate Federal privacy and security laws and
regulations.

Why not return to the Chip Implants theme?? Or Death Panels??

Briebart??

Comment on an issue you have no knowledge of.....very smart!

Do you have any idea of the details of HIPAA??

There are instances where it's okay to share information. For example, sharing it with insurance companies is done all the time.
If medical personnel are doing their job correctly, they have to discuss private information. And HIPAA allows it as long as it is part of the job.

Way to stay ignorant ATS!

:shk:

nnnnNO !!!

getting insurance is supposed to be equal starting next year.
why would all the juicy details matter?

the nosy bureaucrats *l-u-v* to look at other peoples' private business.
they DO their kicks you know.
it's a common psychological problem.

they DON'T need to see your data ahead of you buying a policy.
(but they will peek anyway)
especially if they have sinister plans (too many to list).

the massive databases will be used against many people.

the mistakes and errors will claim many victims.

this brand new HHS directive allows non-insurance and non-medical entities to peek and look.

this by-passes HIPAA.

Da, Comrade Bunny. It's a new dawn of a great day for the whole! Never mind the little bunnies that necessarily get thrown in the crock pot for stew.....you know what they say about omelets and cracking things. Cracking privacy seems a required step to utopia! Everyone is willing to sacrifice for utopia, aren't they? (ready to take names)

What's next, nationalized law representation?
Federal BAR has access to all the conversations and such with any paralegal, attorney or lawyer I seek conference with and can assess my need for representation and dispense such accordingly based upon my ability to pay or compensation fees I've paid in advance irrespective of it being a pre-existing case.
