I've mentioned various government anti-privacy initiatives here in the past,
and the anti-initiatives that various organizations have started to try to
counteract them, with varying levels of success.
The group has with varying levels of interest/belief/support.
Well, here is one more, for your perusal
http://www.defendyourprivacy.com/
(this org, sponsored by the US LP, was instrumental in defeating some
previous anti privacy initiatives)
Information there relates to regulations which supposedly will go into
effect tomorrow that pretty much make your medical records very *non*
private. Of all the sins, and they are manifold, I think selling my
prescription records to marketing companies is about the worst of the lot!
People who filled out previous petitions at this site did end up on email
mailing lists but that has been corrected now, I have been assured.
Give it a gander if you're so inclined, and take whatever action you feel is
appropriate. I guess I find it ironic that the Bush gang, after campaigning
to "clean up DC after the mess the Clinton admin left" are apparently going
to implement seriously flawed regulations that the Clinton cabinet came up
with, unchanged, and then hope that rulechanges later will resolve them.
Once my info is released, it is too late for after the fact resolution.
My info is between me and my contracted parties to dispose of. The
government is not party to any contracts with me, thank you very much.
