The bill that went before the house had an inclusion requiring almost all people in health care services to be fingerchecked and an FBI file opened (this is from volunteers, to janitors, to physicians) I beleive it said it needed to be updated every 2yrs. It had a lot of text dedicated to “Research”, and established a centralized data bank on everyone’s medical information. The “commissioner” was allwed access to this file and ‘any other dept or Agency file” they wanted. This would enable cross checking of people’s religious background, irs records, etc. all in the name of Research. Please comment. Was their any centralized collection of information on health care providers in Germany? Should we be concerned about such a collection of information for “what ever purpose”, and why would such a thing as this requirement even be in a health care bill. Do you see any dangers with any of the above? I also raise questions about ethics of using people’s medical information for ANY research without informed consent. I am a nurse and am concerned about a number of things I read in the bill.

Bureaucracies have no use for morality. In the U.S. insurance company bureaucrats deny insurance, and thus timely medical care, for certain pre-conditions. The value sought is not the illusory defect free people, but profit. Both bureaucracies could have functionaries report, \"There\’s nothing persona in this decision.\"
