If you ever have any concerns about your right to privacy, don't worry. Your right to privacy in this country is imaginary. If you take any prescription medications, the government knows and tracks them. In 2005, President George W. Bush signed into law the Federal Prescription Database Law. The law provided for the creation of a national database to list the prescribed medications you take. The database also tracks how often you purchase those medications. The database and the information recorded has been used by the government for many purposes; one of which is to determine criminal behavior such as doctor shopping. That, however, is just the tip of the iceberg. Law enforcement, medical providers and pharmacies have access to your medication records. The question of hacker access is also a concern.
The loss of privacy is good for you...Your government says so... |
