Public Congress

I also want to know if there is any organization that is targeting these people for defeat in the 2010 elections….whether they are Republicans or Democrats.

I wish there were.

I would suggest voting the incumbents out unless you know they are not taking the money of the insurance and pharmaceutical company lobbyists. A large turnover among the Representatives and the 1/3 of the Senators up for reelection might send the right message.

"Your health records on sale block"
‘Critic says patient consent unneeded in stimulus plan’

The head of the Institute for Health Freedom says now is the time for American residents to rise up if they want to keep control over their health records, because the data soon will be for sale and is forecast to become the next "gold rush."

WND has reported several times on similar issues, including when parents in Minnesota recently sued the state to prevent the collection of their infants’ DNA without permission to use it for research.

Institute President Sue Blevins said the new "stimulus" bill approved by Congress provides for electronic health records for all Americans.

The move, she says, weakens an individual’s control over his or her own health records to the point that data could be employed for research that may end up being used against the patient.

"The economic stimulus law plans for every American to use an electronic health record (EHR) and allows those records to be sold for research and public-health purposes – without patients’ consent," she explained.

What do my medical records contain?

Medical records are created when you receive treatment from a health professional such as a physician, nurse, dentist, chiropractor, or psychiatrist. Records may include your medical history, details about your lifestyle (such as smoking or involvement in high-risk sports), and family medical history.

In addition, your medical records contain laboratory test results, medications prescribed, and reports that indicate the results of operations and other medical procedures. Your records could also include the results of genetic testing used to predict your future health. And they might include information about your participation in research projects.

Information you provide on applications for disability, life or accidental insurance with private insurers or government programs can also become part of your medical file.

So I Guess Patient-Doctor Confidentiality Has Just Been Thrown Out The Window!

It is Unbelievably Stupid that they can get away with this!!!

to the recovery package that would strengthen existing laws requiring government agencies buy American steel and other products when building public works projects with tax dollars? Is that a problem? If so, for who or what?

I don’t know, but you have piqued my interest. I hope you get a good answer to this good question! I’ll be checking back….

that was in 1913 i believe and that is why the "federal reserve cartel" owns and runs our country… thanks congress!! NOW THOUGH i just read that HILLARY PLEDGED THE USA AS EMINENT DOMAIN TO CHINA WHO THE HEL9 DOES THIS PUBLIC SERVANT THINK SHE IS…
CONGRESS BY THE WAY HAS THE AUTHORITY …BUT NO TESTICLES…APPARENTLY YET TO EVICT THE FEDERAL RESERVE CARTEL FROM THEIR FOR PROFIT BUSINESS DOING THE JOB THAT CONGRESS CONSTITUTIONALLY IS REQUIRED TO DO

I heard about this the other day, and if it’s true, then Obama, Clinton, and all the rest of them that brokered this deal with China should be charged and tried as traitors. Hillary is not a public servant, as public servants serve the people who elected them. She serves herself and is pushing not only her agenda for the NWO, but the present administration’s as well.

Now we have a democratic Congress that will have a 1.8 trillion dollar deficit.

Why are there so few female Republicans in Congress? Last time I checked, out of the 17 women in the Senate, 4 are Republican; there are 74 women in the House, 17 are Republican. Even in years when Republicans controlled Congress, there were more female Democrats than Republicans. Why is that?

That’s not surprising. Women as a demographic tend to vote Democrat more often than Republican. It only follows that those who are passionate enough to enter politics would thus be more inclined to be Dems. Even more so, if you are a passionate feminist, the Dems are the place that is going to be more sympathetic to your agenda.

It seems like congress wants to back the big insurance company’s, we are the one who pays the bill.

Conservative Senatorial Democrats (Blue dogs) won’t support party.We don’t need Senatorial Republicans its all Democrat Senators.Its that simple we have 60 Democrat senators we should be able to pass anything.Hopefully they will fall in line.The other Democrat Senators should take them out and pull their plugs out.Disconnect them from Chairmanships.

Senators Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) argue that health care reform legislation should be posted online for 72 hours before it is voted on, to give members of Congress and the public a chance to know what is in the bill and how much it will cost and to allow time for public input.
