Here is a great article written by Lloyd Marcus, a Black singer/songwriter, entertainer, author and Tea Party Patriot. His words mirror my thoughts and are bulls-eye accurate. It's what I have felt beginning with the 2010 campaign and why I worked so hard to prevent Obama from getting elected. It happened anyway. Now we have to reverse what the electors did. Please read this in its entirety and gain strength from the fact that there are Tea Party Patriots of all colors - and they are NOT racists. Mr. Marcus's comments are very timely in light of the court ruling today that Obamacare, all of it, is unconstitutional. There is hope for our future after all.
By Lloyd Marcus
As millions of my fellow Americans, I am outraged, devastated and extremely angry by the democrat's unbelievable arrogance and disdain for We The People. Despite our screaming "no" from the rooftops, they forced Obamacare down our throats. Please forgive me for using the following crude saying, but it is very appropriate to describe what has happened. "Don't urinate on me and tell me it's raining." Democrats say their mission is to give all Americans health care. The democrats are lying. Signing Obamacare into law against our will and the Constitution is tyranny and step one of their hideous goal of having as many Americans as possible dependent on government, thus controlling our lives and fulfilling Obama's promise to fundamentally transform America .
I keep asking myself. How did our government move so far from the normal procedures of getting things done? Could a white president have so successfully pulled off shredding the Constitution to further his agenda? I think not.
Ironically, proving America is completely the opposite of the evil racist country they relentlessly accuse her of being, progressives used America's goodness, guilt and sense of fair play against her.. In their quest to destroy America as we know it, progressives borrowed a brilliant scheme from Greek mythology. They offered America a modern day Trojan Horse, a beautifully crafted golden shiny new black man as a presidential candidate. Democrat Joe Biden lauded Obama as the first clean and articulate African American candidate. Democrat Harry Reid said Obama only uses a black dialect when he wants.
White America relished the opportunity to vote for a black man naively believing they would never suffer the pain of being called racist again. Black Americans viewed casting their vote for Obama as the ultimate Affirmative Action for America 's sins of the past.
Then there were the entitlement loser voters who said, "I'! ;m votin ' for the black dude who promises to take from those rich SOBs and give to me."
Just as the deceived Trojans dragged the beautifully crafted Trojan Horse into Troy as a symbol of their victory, deceived Americans embraced the progressive's young, handsome, articulate and so called moderate black presidential candidate as a symbol of their liberation from accusation of being a racist nation. Also like the Trojan Horse, Obama was filled with the enemy hiding inside.
Sunday, March 21, 2010, a secret door opened in Obama, the shiny golden black man. A raging army of democrats charged out. Without mercy, they began their vicious bloody slaughter of every value, freedom and institution we Americans hold dear; launching the end of America as we know it.
Wielding swords of votes reeking with the putrid odor of back door deals, the democrats landed a severe death blow to America and individual rights by passing Obamacare.
The mainstream liberal media has been relentlessly badgering the Tea Party movement with accusations of racism. Because I am a black tea party patriot, I am bombarded with interviewers asking me the same veiled question. "Why are you siding with these white racists against America 's first African American president?" I defend my fellow patriots who are white stating, "These patriots do not give a hoot about Obama's skin color. They simply love their country and oppose his radical agenda. Obama's race is not an issue.
"Recently, I have come to believe that perhaps I am wrong about Obama's race not being an issue. In reality, Obama's presidency has everything to do with racism, but not from the Tea Party movement. Progressives and Obama have exploited his race from the rookie senator's virtually unchallenged presidential campaign to his unprecedented bullying of America into Obamacare. Obama's race trumped all normal media scrutiny of him as a presidential candidate and most recently even the Constitution of the United States . Obamacare forces all Americans to purchase health care which is clearly unconstitutional.
No white president could get away with boldly and arrogantly thwarting the will of the American people and ignoring laws. President Clinton tried universal health care. Bush tried social security reform. The American people said "no" to both president's proposals! and it was the end of it. So how can Obama get away with giving the American people the finger? The answer. He is black.
The mainstream liberal media continues to portray all who oppose Obama in any way as racist. Despite a list of failed policies, overreaches into the private sector, violations of the Constitution and planned destructive legislation too numerous to mention in this article, many Americans are still fearful of criticizing our first black president. Incredible.
My fellow Americans, you must not continue to allow yourselves to be "played" and intimidated by Obama's race or the historical context of his presidency. If we are to save America , the greatest nation on the planet, Obama's progressive agenda must be stopped.

CHUG-A-CHUG-A CHOO CHOO
Mr. Obama's State of The Union lecture itemized his plans for future "investments" in our infrastructure. He is no longer calling spending what it really is - SPENDING - but now it's all about "INVESTMENTS." He believes changing the terminology will make us all swallow our medicine like good little kiddies. Just pat us on the head, throw some "pork" our way, and we'll be peachy keen. This is the Politics Of Deception taken to its highest level.
But I do believe "infrastructure spending" was a major part of the so-called stimulus plan, and that was sure a big success, wasn't it?
Now he wants to spend billions on developing and building a light rail choo choo system throughout the U.S. But wait, our highway system is deteriorating, bridges are old and collapsing, road beds are falling apart, ramps are crumbling. But Obama's "investment" in infrastructure cannot be spent on our highway system - at least in Wisconsin. It can only be spent on choo choos.
Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker has turned down $810 million federal tax dollars that Obama wanted to give WI for building the light rail choo choo from Milwaukee to Madison. Walker said NO, WI cannot afford the rest of the money it would take to build it, nor can WI afford to maintain the system after it's completed. The yearly subsidy from WI taxpayers would be $9.7 million. That's because the choo choo system will never pay for itself through ticket prices, and Obama knows it - and so does Governor Walker. But Obama says if you don't spend my gift on choo choo trains, I will give the gift to someone who will. You cannot spend it on improving your roads and highway system. That would not be "green" enough for Obama. And he's doing this nationwide.
Oh, yes, you are so smart to remember. Washington is already in the "train" business? It's called Amtrak. Here's the Amtrack history. Amtrak loses money on 41 of 44 routes. The government subsidizes Amtrak over $1 billion dollars every single year - money gone down the black sink hole of the government run choo choo system.
And why do we need light speed rail everywhere in the U.S.? Because Obama says so. We're told there must be a faster, more frequent, more convenient CARLESS travel alternative. It's all about going green, no matter what it costs the government, which is you, the taxpayer. Obama and Washington simply don't give a hoot and a holler what you think or how much money we don't have.
But this is the TRUTH. The current federal deficit amounts to about $49,000 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. There is an IOU for you, each of your children and grandchildren filed away in the innards of the Federal Reserve. This represents what our lawmakers have wasted on your behalf as of today. And it will continue to get worse every year thanks in part to Obama's spending spree that doesn't stop. Government borrowing for 3 years under Obama budgets (2009-2011) will be more than the first 225 years of our country put together. Our future is being mortgaged at a record pace. And Obama and many in Washington don't care.
Yes, that's right. There are Democrats and Republicans in Washington equally as responsible for the U.S. financial mess as Obama. But he's the President. He is the leader. He should be leading the charge to reduce federal spending dramatically. Instead what do we get?
A freeze of existing federal spending, which is 84% higher than it was when Obama took office. It's scary to think that Obama is so ignorant of economics that he really believes a spending freeze at the current levels will do anything to get us out of this sky-is-falling economic mess.
And along with Obama's "freeze" we get "investment" in light rail choo choos. Chug-a-chug-a choo choo, Obama. Have you forgotten? WE ARE BROKE!! There is NO MONEY for your grandiose plans. So why don't you chug-a-chug-a choo choo right out of Washington. We don't need any more of your "hope and change." It's killin' us.

SINK THE KENNEDY SHRINE!
Massachusetts legislators have already dedicated almost $38 million towards the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate - yes, that's really what it's called. I call it the Edward M. Kennedy Shrine to Pork. During Kennedy's reign he pushed through enough pork to fill the trough to overflowing.
And this year his family is coming back for even more piggy funds -- I do believe they think of it as an entitlement - they want another $30 million in TAXPAYER funds to spend on the Shrine.
And this is during the worst recession in American history. The rich and powerful are at it again -- gimme, gimme, gimme.
The Kennedy family is rich, rich, rich. They have ubber rich friends. They should get ALL funding for the Shrine from their friends or their own bank accounts -- NOT THE BELEAGUERED TAXPAYERS - who, according to the CBO yesterday, are getting slapped with another $1.5 trillion in debt for 2011, thanks to millions of PORK projects just like the Kennedy Shrine.
We are at the tipping point, off the cliff, under water, call it what you want. We are BROKE. And no money should be spent on this Shrine or any other project that is not Constitutionally mandated. Be sure to enter your protest to the Kennedy Shrine at this link.

PRIMA DONNA PROM DATE SAYS "NO"
Rejection, Rejection - Eric Cantor (R-VA) did not get his first-choice date for the Prom. In the spirit of Congress's new Bipartisanship Cantor's aids reached out to Pelosi-the-Pit-Bull to see whether the CA Democrat would sit with the VA Republican during tonight's State of the Union Spectacle.
But alas, this unlikely duo was not to be. Ms. Pelosi already has a date, and so she declined Cantor's advances.
And then Hoity Toity Pelosi "tweeted" her rejection of Cantor's overture and now all of Washington and the world knows she rejected him (ah, poor Eric). (or at least the few people who follow Pelosi's tweets know about it).
Personally? I don't know why Eric Cantor invited Pelosi to be his date for this Hokey Hoe-Down. They are on opposite sides of the political fence, they don't much like each other, they criticize each other regularly, and they don't "pillow talk" very well. Can you imagine a "date" where you don't even like your "date?" I suppose you'd have to skip the chit-chat and stick to the dance. And then try not to step on each others' toes.
Cantor and the rest of the Republicans should completely skip this juvenile spectacle called the State of the Union Address, much less make overtures to the Other Side. After all, most of the Supreme Court members won't be there. They know what a joke it has become - nothing more than a political pep-rally.
The Republicans who have agreed to sit with the Democrats? They have made a monstrous mistake. Last week the Dems were blaming the Reps for the AZ shooting, calling them all kinds of nasty names and blaming them for the shooter's actions. Now the Republicans are all kissy-huggy with them. Yikes, it's time to vomit up the prom punch.

CULLING THE GENE POOL
Ever heard of The Darwin Awards? Charles Darwin believed in "survival of the fittest." Thus, the Darwin Awards are yearly bestowed upon those who yield to the process of natural selection and accidentally remove themselves from the gene pool, thereby ensuring that the next generation is smarter than the last generation. Warning, you may end up believing Darwin had it right -- nature takes care of culling the herd. I wonder if the process of "natural selection" is alive and well in Washington? Can the Washington "herd" be culled?

HATE CRIME OR PATRIOTISM?
Remember when Cody Alicea from Denair, CA was prohibited from riding his bike to school with the American flag flying on the back of his bike? It was a big deal and all over the news at the time. What we never heard, though, was the outcome of the nationwide uproar. Well, here it is in video, from beginning to a great ending.
Young Cody rode to school with the flag on his bike because his grandfather was a WWII Veteran and Cody was very patriotic. But he was told by his principal to remove the flag from his bike. The principal's illogical reason was because when the Mexican flag was displayed during a school Cinco de Mayo celebration there was some turmoil, and he was afraid Cody flying the American flag might result in violence.
Well, excuse me! This is a classic example of politically correct corrupt officials running amok. The no-brains-in-their-heads officials need to know that we will stop you every single time you think you can get away with something as egregious as disallowing anyone to fly our American flag. This is, after all, in case you have forgotten, AMERICA!!
But just when I think we've gotten to the point where loving your nation is considered a "hate crime," along comes a slew of Veteran Bikers riding with Cody as he goes to school with the American flag flying proudly from his bike. Here are the videos that tell the Rest Of The Story. It will make you proud, for sure. And the so-called superintendent of Denair schools eventually apologized to Cody.
And for anyone in our country who thinks we should not be able to fly our American flag wherever and whenever we want to, GO HOME! You are not wanted here, nor are you needed.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT WITHOUT THE HYPE
Came across this video from 3 years ago. Texas State Representative, Suzanna Gratia-Hupp, whose parents were killed by an insane gunman while her gun was out in the car, gives very moving and bold testimony about the REAL reason that the second amendment was designed to protect our God-given right to keep and bear arms. The senator from New York, Chuck Schumer, was getting a little uncomfortable in his chair. The room was absolutely dead quiet throughout her testimony and the ban-guns-crowd was rendered speechless as she chews 'em up and spits 'em out. She knows what the 2nd amendment is really all about. She knows what her inability to conceal and carry her handgun cost her. Her parents lives. Watch it. You'll be glad you did. And pass it along. It's three years old but a very timely reminder of the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment. If someone in Arizona two weeks ago had been legally carrying a handgun, Loughner, the insane shooter, may have been stopped sooner. We are only left to wonder.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT?
OUT GO THE LIGHTS! That's what could happen to America if we fail to get our fiscal house in order. Consequences, there are surely dire consequences for not doing so and continuing along the spending path to certain ruin. And along comes the first big decision the new members of Congress will have to make: To raise the Debt Limit, or Not to raise the Debt Limit.
For those of you who are not into spending more than you earn, here's a short explanation of "The Debt Limit." Congress sets a dollar amount, called The Debt Limit, and the government cannot spend more than the Debt Limit amount set by Congress. When the government commits to MORE DEBT than the amount Congress has set, the President trots on over the Congress and asks, pretty please, will you raise the Debt Limit so we can continue to pay our bills and operate - in short, so we can continue to spend money we don't have.
A history lesson, the Debt Limit has been raised 11 times since 1996. Many of those raises were accompanied by promised spending cuts that never materialized. Same old government spenders, promise anything to get what they want. Same game, different players. Don't you believe one word of any promise to cut spending. It won't happen unless they are forced - and that means DON'T RAISE THE DEBT LIMIT, NO WAY, NO HOW.
And now here we are, Obama wants the Debt Limit raised so the government can continue to fund things like turtle tunnels, studying Chinese prostitutes, sidewalks to nowhere, the purchase of electric golf carts for rich golfers, funds for the National Endowment for the Arts so they can display more pornographic so-called art works, studying why Africans don't vote, money to develop a joke machine, studying how monkeys react to cocaine, the genetic makeup of ants; oh, doesn't it just give you warm fuzzies when you think of all the worthwhile things YOUR money goes for??? And Obama wants more of IT from YOU. He wants Congress to RAISE THE DEBT LIMIT so he can spend more.
But guess what? Obama was AGAINST raising the Debt Limit before he was FOR raising the Debt Limit. In 2006 Obama opposed any Debt Limit increase saying the following: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt is a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means the 'the buck stops here.' Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit." These are Obama's exact words. Talk about two-faced hypocrisy, he's the King Cobra of the Washington snake pit. If America had a "debt problem" in 2006 what does he think the "debt problem" is now? Leadership failure?? Seems to be describing himself.
You will hear the Dems screaming about what will happen if the Debt Limit is not raised, Armageddon is on the horizon, America will be in default, blah, blah, blah. But you need to know that in 1995 a government shutdown did not cause a stock market crash, and it did not create widespread catastrophe and panic and the end of life as we know it, and the world won't spin off its axis in 2011 in spite of what Obama and his czars want us to believe. Everything is a panic with them. Do it or the world ends. Oh, my gosh!
So now I need to ask, is it wishful thinking to hope for the "change" that the Conservatives promised us in the last election? We spoke loudly and clearly and sent about 75 new people to Washington. We said QUIT SPENDING! AND WE MEANT IT. And now, Folks, they better listen to us. Or they too will be replaced. 2012 is almost here.

I CHRISTEN THEE CHURCHLESS - SO SAYS OUR GOVERNMENT
Oh, yes, our many and varied branches of government, including the feds, the states, the counties, local governments, even the courts, would like to see, and often times mandate, diminished Christianity in anything that even remotely could be considered "governmental."
For instance, a Florida school district attempted to crack down on Christian statements by faculty members AND THEIR SPOUSES - even off campus; Courts have ruled that music can be banned if it even SOUNDS religious; At the Constitution Hall historic site Park Service employees were caught maligning Christians; Sandra Day O'Connor, former Supreme Court Justice, said that a city could exclude those who pray "in Jesus name" from a prayer rotation at public meetings; During the last National Day of Prayer event activist Muslims were successful in having the government attempt to silence Christian leader Franklin Graham; A new $600-million dollar visitor center in Washington left out the nation's motto "In God We Trust;" Schools won't let kids sing Christmas carols at Christmas; And God forbid if anyone constructs a public manger scene; And the Ten Commandments that are inscribed above the Supreme Court Justices' bench have been described by tour guides as "The tablet represents the first 10 amendments to the Bill of Rights." What's that?? It's revisionist history, another attempt to remove God from the founding of America.
And then along comes some hope - along comes newly elected Commissioner Peggy Littleton, El Paso County, Colorado. It seems Littleton's first request when she joined the commission was to call for more prayer. She asked that the commissioners pray together and she invited anyone who would like to express their blessing on the board to join in the prayer. Because her request was not a policy issue it only needed three commissioners to agree, and agree they did. And so it was done.
Thank God for the Peggy Littletons of the world. There is hope after all.

CORRECTION
In my post yesterday about the audacity of the Left making the Arizona killings political, I made a mistake and referred to the Right when I meant the Left. One of my readers pointed it out to me and I have corrected it. True to my policy, if I make a mistake I will admit it and apologize. Thanks for being faithful readers and for so graciously letting me know when something isn't "Right."

BABY LIES, BIG LIES AND BOLD-FACED LIES
While the finger pointing and accusations continue, Zach Osler, a high school friend of Jared Loughner, shines a light on Loughner's world view and twisted mind. Osler says Loughner wasn't Right, wasn't Left, didn't listen to talk radio, didn't watch TV, wasn't political. But there was one thing he was greatly influenced by. A Utopian atheistic movement called Zeitgeist.
This video of Osler's interview on ABC News explains what Zeitgeist is and what Loughner thought about it. The Zeitgeist movement has received a glowing profile on Huffingtonpost.com. Members attended Leftist rallies held in D.C. last year, Ed Schulz's One Nation rally and Jon Stewart's Restoring Sanity rally. And while the evidence is increasingly proving that Loughner wasn't political, he was simply Nuts, the left keeps right on with their Bold-Faced Lies completely ignoring the truth of the matter.
Check out Louise Slaughter. She's angry at talk radio but she's not angry at Loughner. And Paul Krugman. There's so many things he's said that are so outrageous, he has no credibility left. Keith Olbermann is up to his usual verbal assaults. James Clyburn wants the Fairness Doctrine re-instated (Google Fairness Doctrine). But the facts are, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, George Wallace, Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan, John Lennon, and two attempts on Gerald Ford's life all took place from the 1960s to the 1980s, when the so called Fairness Doctrine was on the books. The Fairness Doctrine sure prevented shootings and assassinations, didn't it?
And then there's ex-congressman Paul Kanjorski spouting off about civility and respect and stopping the rhetoric and hate speech. But this is what Kanjorski said on 10/23/2010 when running for office (yes, he LOST, that goodness). "That Scott down there that's running for Governor of Florida, instead of running for Governor of Florida they ought'a put him against the wall and shoot him.....He's no hero. He's a damned crook." Very civil, wouldn't you say?
And are you all asking yourself why the Left is so rapidly jumping on the this-was-political bandwagon, yet when the Ft. Hood shooter killed 13 people and the Christmas bomber got on a plane with a bomb the Left quickly said "don't jump to conclusions, don't call him a Muslim terrorist." "Let's investigate this first." Ooooo, Political Correctness. Can't say Muslim and terrorist in the same breath.
The same people who try to convince us that violent, sleazy, sexual scenes in movies or video games cannot be blamed for violent, sleazy, sexual acts against society are now telling us that talk radio and TV "naturally leads to violence against politicians." This is exploitative rhetoric of the worst kind.
And the beat goes on. Everyone is to blame, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, all conservative talk radio, Fox News, TV, the Tea Party followers, and on and on ad infinitum.
But the truth is that every society has madmen who do horrific things. Every society has deranged lunatics carrying out their demented delusions, delusions which become very real to their victims and families who must pick up the pieces of their lives and go on. We cannot begin to imagine their pain.
I believe, though, that any action to curtail inflammatory speech would lead to control of ALL speech, and there is no one in government, business, politics or the press whom I would trust with that power. Our First Amendment rights are on the table, and those rights could be obliterated by the stroke of a President's pen - not through a Constitutional Amendment but by Executive Order or the FCC barging right through the back door.
Now here is Zach Osler and the skinny on Zeitgeist.

RIGHT WING? LEFT WING? OR JUST PLAIN CRAZY?
All weekend TV has extensively covered the horrific shooting of Rep. Giffords and many others in AZ. When it happened I predicted that before the end of the day someone was going to be pointing a finger at the Tea Party, at Right Wingers, at Conservatives, at talk radio. And sure enough, I was not disappointed.
First it was Pima County Sheriff Dupnik who excoriated talk radio and TV for its "rhetoric, hatred and vitriol." He made a statement that people should stop listening to such hateful news outlets. He also said AZ is a "mecca for prejudice and bigotry." Is he including ALL ARIZONANS in his assessment? These comments come from the same individual who called the Arizona Immigration law unwise, stupid and racist and said he would not enforce it. So Dupnik was the first to point the finger of blame at politics.
But certainly not the last. In two days The Huffington Post, New York Times, many other major media outlets, and sadly, some liberals like Congressman Grijalva and Democrats Markos, Moulitsas, and Andrew Sullivan (reporter), to name a few, have all made outrageous statements about the shooter's motive and political affiliation. How disgusting and low must they be to co-opt this tragedy for their own political agenda. Their finger pointing is absurd. For every angry right-winger, there is an angry left-winger. But millions of angry Americans, left or right, do not pick up guns and kill people.
The truth is that Jared Loughner is a deranged young man whose mind was deeply disturbed, someone who had tinkered with anarchist ideas and left wing politics, who identified among his favorite books "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx, "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler, and Siddhartha - hardly a reading list of right wing Conservatives - more of a must-read-list for left wing Liberals. Loughner was prone to dressing in black regalia of boots, trench coat and baggy pants, was suspended from college for his strange behavior, and was angry at the government for everything. Had he not chosen this day at this time to go on this rampage, he ultimately would have done it somewhere else at a different time for reasons only he could comprehend and justify. But there is no easy way to stop a Una-bomber with a gun.
This is a tragedy beyond expression. My heart aches for those who are injured, those who died, their families, and all of America. But this was not done by the Left, not the Right, not Liberals, not Conservatives, not talk radio, not TV or any other media. This was pre-planned and carried out by a crazed, pot smoking, Communist-Manifesto-reading lunatic who is solely responsible for his actions. And may the full force of our judicial system come down upon him.

ONLY IN AMERICA
Watch the amazing video of a homeless man, Ted Williams, The Man With The Golden Voice, discovered on the streets of Columbus and 2 days later the video goes viral on YouTube getting millions of hits. He's now been offered more jobs than he can comprehend. The video is a Today Show interview of Ted. There is a video of Ted's mother on CBS News this morning, and you can find it on YouTube. It cannot be embedded yet. Thought you'd all enjoy seeing this because it can ONLY HAPPEN IN AMERICA, the land of opportunity.

SICKOS - MEDICAL ID THEFT - IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!
Newsmax Magzine has a great article about Medical ID Theft and how rampant it is today. It talks about how easy it is for thieves to access your medical records, get expensive medical care in your name, and have the bills sent to YOU. Can you imagine what it is going to be like when all medical records are stored in a Washington, D.C. computer as required by Obamacare? Obamamama wants all medical records nationwide to be available electronically by 2015.
But guess what? It is expected that medical identity theft crimes will SOAR IN NUMBERS once stored in Washington because it will be easier to steal thousands of patient records at a time from a very vulnerable database. And if you think your medical records will not be vulnerable and will be safe electronically stored, think of Wikileaks. Unless you live in a cave you surely have heard about the millions of classified documents stolen by a lowly Army private. He simply walked out of his Army office with the documents stored on a disc.
How many patients' medical records do you think can be stored on one disc? And how many government employees do you think will have access to YOUR medical records? And how much money do you think identity thieves would pay to get their hands on your private medical records? And if you think there will be safeguards, the Pentagon thought so too.
Electronic health records could potentially result in the theft of millions of records by cyber criminals who RECENTLY had no trouble hacking into the Department of Homeland Security, the White House, and medical facilities across the nation. The government can't even keep Homeland Security and White House computers safe.
As the head of Patient Privacy Rights Foundation stated, this is "going to be disaster" and "Identity theft numbers will explode and patient privacy and health record accuracy will be seriously eroded." As many as 1.2 million Americans have already been victimized by medical identity theft.
Besides the nightmare of trying to "fix" your financial health, an additional consequence will be widespread corruption of your records. For instance, your data in a thief's file or a thief's data in your file, wrong blood types, incorrect medication lists, wrong elective surgeries, sexually transmitted disease errors, incorrect psychotic disorders, and so on. And the fun part? It will be up to YOU to cleanse your records in your doctor's office and at your insurance company servers and back-up systems. And you won't be able to do it because doctor's offices and insurance companies are not required to cooperate with you in your efforts to clean up the mess. In fact, you may not have access to the thief's records even though the thief is using your name and information. The thief also has privacy protection "rights."
Think it can't happen to you? Well, think again. UCLA Medical Center had a huge breach of patients' records. Doctors and nurses were fired for snooping. Doctors and nurses sworn to protect their patients and they still snooped. What do you think some lowly employee on the government payroll is going to do?
Here are some ways to protect your medical records:
Use a cross-cut shredder to destroy all correspondence associated with health insurance or medical providers.
Do not provide your health insurance information to anyone who phones you or solicits you on the Internet.
Ask your physician and providers to check put a note in your chart that they must check your identification before admitting you for care.
Check all statements for services from your health care providers. If you find unfamiliar treatments request copies of the medical treatment and billing records. Once you get the file, if it is a "commingled" file, remove sensitive information pertaining to your health and financials and make a police report immediately. A police investigation will be instigated.
And last but really most important, scream at your Senator and Congressman about Obamacare. Cite this information. Tell them you don't want your medical records stored in Washington and available to millions of federal government employees for the taking.
