Health Care Reform in one (1) sentence!

Give the American people the same health care coverage that the lawmakers in Washington are receiving.

With all the bickering, arguments, and politics that is going on in the White House about the health care reform, the one thing that our lawmakers agree on is that they are satisfied with their own health care coverage.  So, if it's good enough for them, why not pass the same coverage to the American people?

Too expensive?  Then they should scale down on their own coverage until it is affordable, then pass the same coverage to the American people.  Doesn't the citizens (American people) deserve the same coverage that their public servants (lawmakers) recieve?  After all, we - the American people - are paying for their health care coverage, anyway.

The Red Flag Rule - Effective Aug. 1, 2009

With Medical Records being pushed to be made available electronically, hackers are having a field day trying to see how much they can squeeze out of guilty establishments that did not take the necessary precautions in protecting their data.

Two such cases have been posted in the Washington Post:
Extortionists Target Major Pharmacy Processor and Hackers Break Into Virginia Health Professions Database, Demand Ransom.

Effective August 1, 2009 - The Federal Trade Commission will enforce the 'Red Flag Rule' and penalize businesses that do not comply with this federal mandate.  Many health care providers, including home health agencies are subject to comply.  For guidance and resources, our site is a great place to start - http://www.mycmsforms.com.
