1. “Email exchanges involving Ingram and White House officials — including White House health policy advisor Ellen Montz and deputy assistant to the president for health policy Jeanne Lambrew — contained confidential taxpayer information, according to Oversight.”

   There is no hope for privacy anymore. We are forced to release this information to people who are using it against us.

   1. I hope Ms. Ingram gets the full five years

   2. The State is too big. It’s unification into a single force is squashing our liberties.

2. I’m torn on Electronic Medical Records. Part of me thinks that it is a great advancement that will increase efficiency. On the other hand, it makes it much easier for that information to enter the hands of the wrong people.

   1. Well the other problem is they’re still quite ineffecient, and the way many of them are designed, it’s murder trying to extract the meaningful vs meaninless information.

      1. I don’t know, but this isn’t working.

4. “RAND study: electronic medical records are stressing doctors out.”

   Doctors who can handle EMR should use them, doctors who can’t shouldn’t. It isn’t that hard.

5. “Once you finally make it into HealthCare.gov, it’s hard to get out.”

   Glitches be crazy.

   1. I got 99 problems, and glitches are all of them.

6. This is getting out of hand.

   1. ^ supposed to be for Lucas.
