   Yes good point – Barry once again “creates” an idea that is already being done.

   You may have been using your individual doctor’s record keeping system, but if you go to the doctor across the street, he won’t have access to your records. Same thing if you have an accident a thousand miles away from home. If you thought that was already in existence, you’re mistaken, I’m afraid. Short of carrying one of those microchip cards with your medical history on it, there is no way for someone who is not in direct contact with your personal physician to know what your medical conditions, medications, etc., are.
   And you really think Medicare is responsible for the loss of accessability and coverage? I guess I must have been wrong when I thought it was the insurance companies driving the premiums up and denying coverage whenever they could get away with it.
   You need to do some research.

   Pretty soon it will be like the seat belt theory. You’ll be fined for not obeying because you are endangering yourself. When the state has to take care of your left overs, it will make sure you are strapped tight and so it goes a piece of your liberty.
