Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Opponents of the government should be forcibly committed to insane asylums, without trial but merely by executive order, say Hollywood actor and British talk-show host. Just as Sissy Spacek was qualified to testify about the suffering of farm wives because she had played one in a movie, Sean Penn is qualified to talk about crazy people because . . . well, fill in the punch-line yourself.
Who says history doesn’t repeat itself?

Why do you think MNCare collects all that information, silly?
And once again, the mask slips….
More importantly, does he use a protective covering on his cell phone?
The mask has been in shreds for a while now, mnbubba.
Was the mask every really there for Comrade Obama? Now I’ll grant that the MSM didn’t make much of an issue of it, but anyone watching knew back in 2008 that Dear Leader had been a member of a bizaare church for 20 years that mixed socialism and black nationalism, that he’d been brought up, politically, in one of the most corrupt cities in the nation, that he’d endorsed disastrous ideas like single payer health insurance, and that he’d spent a lot of time as a community agitator, teaching vulnerable people on the South Side to blame anyone but themselves for their plight.
And more. I don’t think you have to grow up in “Chicagoland”, as I did, to figure out that the guy’s public persona is a complete fraud, do you?
And Penn….well, looking at his bio, he knows about insanity, which explains his support for President Obama, I guess. He apparently knows a lot about abusive relationships, which also seems to fit well with his support for Barry.
MNCare is collecting data to lock up conservatives in mental health wards?
Seriously? You do know that MN Care is a health INSURANCE entity, not a health CARE organization, right?
That is the same distinction that conservatives have failed to make regarding Obamacare, which upgraded the minimum standards for health care INSURANCE, and which is not directly involved in health care or health care management.

The same mistake was made by the idiot conservative Congressman Joe Barton earlier this week when he had a congressional hearing hissy fit about Obamacare being HIPA compliant, and was called out over it.
More of the same old same old propaganda — gin up the extreme right wing emotional dinsinformation machine.
Jesus, Dog Gone, you are incoherent. What you are writing about has nothing to do with the topic under discussion. Are you having a stroke?
no PM she’s just in one of her stay up all night on the browsing the web and watching MSNBC in the background manic phases over at casa Gone.
Well lets hope it just means she’s off her meds otherwise the only 2 things readily available that will keep you up for days is coke or meth.
Mitch, have you ever met Mr. Mongrel Cur? I can only assume he’s quite a piece of work himself.
*HIPAA
I wonder if Dog Gone is even remotely aware of the concerns over privacy issues arising from the shoddy ACA website – or is that just something that will be fixed later after all the joyousness occurs ?
” …… not directly involved with health care or health care management” – I’d be willing to bet that’s a keeper for review at a later date

Oh, good lord.
Seriously?
NO! NOT SERIOUSLY!
Holy Christ on a Triumph.

I know more than you do about both. Yes.
DG,
Since you’ve decided to favor us with your attention – things must be slow over at “MPP”, huh? – perhaps you could take some time to answer a few long-standing questions?
1) How was Tony Cornish’s “Stand your Ground” bill, which passed the Legislature with a bipartisan majority, “crap legislation?” Your answer was a non-answer – you threw out some link you picked off of Google that had been long debunked and related to a Texas law in any case. So please – how was Minnesota’s specific law “crap?”
That’s pretty much it.
Any ol’ time here.
I seem to remember Doggone saying she’d worked in medical insurance, in which case she would know that insurance companies can and do access medical records.
In which case it would be practical for the government to use the records they have access to for the abuse of mental illness designations. Now we can debate whether it’s likely, but we really ought not pretend to debate the idea that the data are out there for use by unscrupulous bureaucrats with orders from above.
Like, say, the IRS employees who used “Tea Party” as a proxy for denying tax status and such. So it couldn’t possibly happen under the Obama administration, except that….it’s pretty darned likely.
DHS has already flagged serving military as potential PTSD cases that need to be watched.
Do Ins Cos have direct access to your medical records (i.e. lab test results, xrays,CT scans,etc) no, but they don’t need them.
Insurance companies don’t pay invoices that are not properly coded so when DGs ins co gets a bill from Penultimate Psychiatric Assoc coded for ICD-10 F60.8 and X79 that tells them what they need to know for underwriting the next year’s premiums not to mention due to some provisions in ERISA DG’s employer has a right to review the invoices the Ins Co has paid so your employer has little trouble figuring it out.
Not true, kel. Ins Cos do review treatment plans, and do access medical records.
I hate to lay this on you, but if you are a liberal, you are so deep into the bubble that you think that this is a straight news report with intelligent analysis:

Kel, read your insurance papers. They can and will dig into your medical records to see if a diagnosis/treatment makes sense. Yet another reason you DON’T want your government to have access, but apparently that will be the case for (last count) nearly 100 million Americans unless the Health Insurance Deform Act is repealed.
I say we put both the despicable Penn and DG in the same rubber room.
bikebubba … Access to medical records seems to be of interest to lots of people lately. Twice now, I’ve been given some type of 2-3 page waiver form to sign that granted access to my records to various entities. Some being granted access made sense; medical personnel involved in my healthcare, etc.
However, some of the entries’ descriptions were quite well-written, but quite intentionally vague. They basically said (to me) “and any other people we deem appropriate.”
Since these forms were distributed by desk staff, they were understandably unable to answer my questions. However, when presented to my physician, she even found the wording suspicious and admitted that after reading the fine print, she wouldn’t sign them either.
This has been within the past year at a clinic I regularly go to. I just walked out with the forms saying that I’d look them over. No one has questioned that or followed up. It’s so easy to just sign stuff now days. However, I’m really reading the small print now. I suspect that with Obama care, there will lots of that.

If Dr’s do not collect those signatures and treat patients, they could be stripped of license. It is not an ADA or an MDA or any kind of professional requirement – it is a Goobernment mandate. They get audited. By English majors, wearing birkenstocks, rags, unkempt beards, stinking, and with a vacuous look in their eyes.
