I am sure he would be able to apply that statement (and others) to this potential fiasco- in my mind, this is just another way for the government to get ahold of info on every person- possibly to determine your genetic viability to the State. With John Holdren in as the "Science Czar", I am wary of anything in this direction. There has already been one Dr. Mengele- we do not need another.

I doubt the local hospital could look at them. The ones at the private companies are still vulnerable but a breach would affect a smaller group than if the entire country's records were all together.

Patient First has it electronically. When I went there the second time they pulled up on the screen what I was there for the first time. Also the lab there enters on the PC what their tests showed.
