Um, if it's just between me and my doctor, why is the government requiring it to be stored electronically?
They're not.

You can't even go to the Doctor you want to go to in a lot of cases, I went to one of those clinics on the weekend several months back and I really liked the Doctor but he said that;due to regulations; he could not be my regular Doctor. Shouldn't that be his choice or mine instead of governments?
So this is made up? Thanks for the heads up
Electronic Health Records and Privacy Law
"President Obama has declared that electronic medical records will "reduce error rates, reduce our long-term cost of health care and create jobs." ("Obama's Prime Time Press Briefing," The New York Times, Feb. 9, 2009.) Congress has authorized $19 billion to implement provisions of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 intended to accelerate the adoption and use of "certified electronic health record technology" during the next several years by hospitals and physicians that provide services to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. (H.R. 1, 111th Cong. §§ 4001-4201 (2009).) Professionals and hospitals that fail to implement EHR technology by 2014 stand to suffer reductions in Medicare reimbursements. "

i think right now the choice is your insurance company's... not the government.
and doctors choose the insurance plans they accept.

Participation in the Medicare and Medicare EHR incentives programs is not mandatory (that's why they're "incentives programs"). You should know this, as you've commented in the thread in which I described the program.
So I need to find a doctor who will not take Medicare or Medicaid patients, that should be easy
I admire the skill with which Progressives have undermined and fundamentally altered American society and civilization. They are patient, they are cunning and they are absolutely ruthless.
One of the marvelous ways they've Body Snatched our civilization is by couching their fundamental changes as "reforms"
Health Care Reform now means real live genuine Eugenicists and a President who has stated he is "God's partner in matter of live and death" now have control of the health care system.
The idea of selling a fundamental rewrite as "Reform" is not new. One reason the Progressive have been so successful is that they have sabotaged the educational system.
Machiavelli's "The Prince" and "Discourses" was required reading at one point and most, if not all of our Founders knew the work.
I went through NYC public education and then Queens College then Manhattan College. But for a 7th Grade class that studied Dante and read "The Inferno" (the last line of Chapter XXI where Dante and Virgil receive a signal they can pass when the Guardian "Makes a trumpet of his ass" had us in hysterics for weeks and gave us a love of the classics) I never picked up The Prince.
I did now and I HIGHLY recommend you do the same!
CHAPTER XXV
That he who would reform the Institutions of a free State, must retain at least the semblance of old Ways.
WHOEVER TAKES UPON HIM to reform the government of a city, must, if his measures are to be well received and carried out with general approval, preserve at least the semblance of existing methods, so as not to appear to the people to have made any change in the old order of things; although, in truth, the new ordinances differ altogether from those which they replace. For when this is attended to, the mass of mankind accept what seems as what is; nay, are often touched more nearly by appearances than by realities.

Or you could explain to your doctor that you're afraid of technology; if he's implementing an EHR system tell him you prefer a paper record, which, of course, makes privacy breaches impossible.
No one is forcing your doctor to use EHRs. If he decides to and you find that inconvenient, that's very sad for you. My condolences.
I noticed Greenie that you chose to CHERRY PICK Frank's Statement.
WHY is that?

Probably because he edited his post after I wrote my response.
*I* SEE The EDIT at the SAME TIME...Curious. So Frank is a LIAR. Is that what you profess?
