Transgender sex changes proposed for New York Medicaid.
New York State already has the most expensive Medicaid program of any state. At more than $50 billion per year, U.S. taxpayers divvy up more than $25 billion annually in federal matching funds to subsidize New York State. Waste and graft are both huge problems. It is ludicrous that someone would even propose such an idea.
I never really given much thought to the notion that Governor Christie is overweight. He strikes me as a man of action rather than a talking head. He’s not afraid of being blunt when others would be diplomatic. His weight certainly didn’t not stand in the way of being an effective U.S. Attorney or defeating the slender (and wealthy) Corzine.
I’m going to be contrarian, and bait the flames, by stating that the Stanford University breach actually illustrates how unimportant data privacy is.
The data were floating out there for anyone to see for almost one year and nobody cared. Nobody used the data for anything. It took almost a year for just one single patient to figure out that the data was public.
I agree with John Graham. People worry too much about their data being used against them. In my opinion, we’ll end up with the “small town” attitude toward data whereby we all know each other’s secrets, but since everyone has a skeleton in the closet, we all go on living life and stop worrying about it. It might be news for a week or two, but at the end of the day, we’ve all got to take care of business.
Well John, you may not have anything to hide. Other people do. Never mind that one’s medical condition ought not to be anyone else’s business. Also, it all depends what was in the ER records.
Does this count as a flame or a civil disagreement?

I’m glad to see somebody sticking up for the over weight.

Playing identity politics is much easier than actual policy discussions…
