The IRS is being sued by a California healthcare provider for seizing the medical records of an estimated 10 million Americans, which included sensitive information such as psychological services, drug treatment, and gynecological counseling.

On a related issue, Obama's new federal mandate is forcing hospitals and medical doctors to convert from paper records to electronic record-keeping, claiming that it will save billions of dollars in the long run. To date, billions have been spent already, and it is now predicted by the RAND Corporation that this will not save the expected money. And, for those who don't comply, there will be penalties.
Not coincidentally, big Obama donor, Judy Faulkner, is CEO of Epic Systems, which will be in charge of storing almost half of this country's health information. According to industry observers, Epic is not technologically up for this task, and "will ultimately hinder health care organization's ability to rapidly innovate."
