Unhidden Health Records

This is the same government that wants to crawl up my ass and set up base camp to get all my info?

The one that has a fetish for databases and tells us not to worry about privacy?

Like a teenage child, until they can prove they are to be trusted with such material (if then, even) they deserve none of it

"NIH laptop with patient data stolen"

"A government laptop computer containing medical information on 2,500 patients at the National Institutes of Health was stolen in February, potentially exposing seven years' worth of clinical trial data, including names, medical diagnoses, and details of the patients' heart scans. The information was not encrypted, in violation of the government's data security policy. NIH officials did not acknowledge the theft until Thursday (Washington Post)."
