people [think] HIPPA protects privacy but it doesn't. It did the exact opposite. It gave all those corporations and the government access to your data. So that's a lot of what we do and that's why Real ID is real important to us because we believe that that's going to be the card, the number, the system that will include not only your medical records but your financial records, and be a fully controlling card . . . --Twila Brice
Remember last week when we told you about opting out of the Real ID version of driver licenses? Well, guess what else is a privacy-destroying system? HIPAA. (Yup, HIPAA — the legislation that’s advertised to be the exact opposite.) According to the Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (@CCHFreedom), some people have begun declining to sign HIPAA forms at all. Here’s what CCHF’s thinks Real ID and HIPAA have to do with each other.Remember last week when we told you about opting-out of the Real ID version of driver licenses?

He who holds the data makes the rules, and any tyrant knows they have to get hold of the data on everyone to control them. And so we spend a lot of time protecting medical privacy, personal privacy in the medical record because just think of all the things that you reveal these days through the medical record. As a matter of fact, the largest electronic medical health creator, manufacturer, whatever, the EPIC system, she wants it to be not just an electronic health record, EHR, she wants it to be a CHR, Comprehensive Health Record. She wants to know how many hours you sleep, when do you lay down, what do you eat? What's your transportation? What's your ride to work, or wherever you go, right? She wants to know all of this and wants it in the medical record. So it's really important to protect patient privacy, and people [think] HIPPA protects privacy but it doesn't. It did the exact opposite. It gave all those corporations and the government access to your data. So that's a lot of what we do and that's why Real ID is real important to us because we believe that that's going to be the card, the number, the system that will include not only your medical records but your financial records, and be a fully controlling card . . .
