Read about Terry Schiavo, whose husband kept Med Records from family -- such as bone scan -- evidence shows he was at least neglible. 2. What about unmarried couples? 3. Lawsuits from ID theft due to hacking, lost laptops, etc. 4. PIA is too broad and includes all ID info -- can you narrow this to HC to limit your liability? 5. ID theft is easy because biometric info is not used. Only CRIMINALS can be tagged via fingerprint, dna due to AFIS (a proposal I worked on via TWA). 6. DHS has "misplaced" my Nat Papers and hence I have no photo ID and less rights as a citizen than some aliens. I cannot board a plane, get a passport, sign into a hotel, etc. And yet, all my fingerprints are filed at Courthouse Police Station (VA) and even the INS when I applied for security clearance. In order to expedite my ID, I would have to commit a felony and get into AFIS. ------------ Due to Baby Boomers retirement, DHHS issued statistics on skyrocketing HC costs. Updates:

Re EMR, a talk show reported 85% of public does not want it fearing violations and repercussions to their privacy, employment, and insurance. They do not understand it. Just like database on DNA and smart cards. The fear of losing insurance due to pre-existing condition. They fear rejection by a company to hire them. I'll write more after debate tonight.
