Here’s a big shocker! The government wants your Body Mass Index in their electronic health record. But if you’re HIV positive or you’ve had an abortion, your records are sealed!
In an interview videotaped on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked [David] Blumenthal whether abortions and HIV tests must be included in an EHR, as the new regulations, on their face, seem to suggest.
“The regulations that came out state that hospitals and doctors have to provide problems lists, medications [lists], diagnostic test results, copies of those things in the electronic health record,” said CNSNews.com. “Does that mean that a test result like, say, an HIV test or a procedure like an abortion would have to go on an electronic health record”
Blumenthal said, “Any specific information recorded in the record is an issue between the doctor and the patient, not an issue that this regulation specifies.”
Some people’s medical records are more private than others. Welcome to Animal Farm! I feel like I should go have a fake abortion just to protect my privacy.

I caught this too and almost choked!
Of anyone who’s records need publicizing it’s the people walking around with HIV> It’s so far left along with ‘tax dollars for abortions” that this fall is gonna be a landslide like we’ve never seen.
‘Jed and Granny’s’ from all over will be coming down from the hills to vote for the first time ever after 2 years of this ”lefty loon GhettObama crap” I’d bet the farm on it.

I think you’re onto something to protect your privacy. I first heard of the medical records act from Newt Gingrich. He lost my vote and my enthusiasm for him. We know how our health records will be used against us.

They can want my BMI all day.
Getting it will be another matter.
