Dem Fools & Other Silly Rabbits

When someone pooh-poohs your concern over having your medical records put into a government database through National Health Information Technology, remind them of dear Mr. Kevin Young, who worked for the State Department for 22 years and as of today, pleaded guilty “to illegally accessing more than 125 confidential passport applications for celebrities, professional athletes and a politician”

Once your private medical info has been divulged to the world, no amount of prosecution of the leaker (or lack of prosecution as we have often seen) can restore your privacy and dignity.
