Egypt’s crisis has raised alarms about national security and economic impact for Americans if regime change leads to an anti-US government controlling a strong ally in the Middle East. This crisis raises another more personal concern for Americans that has been overlooked by the national media: the security and availability of your electronic medical records in the event of a government-imposed “kill switch” for the Internet.

Part of the scheme of ObamaCare is to set up Accountable Care Organizations. In New Jersey, they are being set up for the Medicaid population. As is typical of all “innovative” government programs, they might seem good on paper but are really nothing new. They may appear to solve problems in the old Medicaid system, where physicians are so underpaid that few enroll, but new problems and cost overruns will inevitably occur.

Virginia Attorney General, Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II, said, “It is a great day for the Constitution. This case is not about health insurance. It is not about healthcare. It’s about liberty.”
In Commonwealth of Virginia v. Kathleen Sebelius, Judge Henry E Hudson found that Congress cannot expand the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution to force people to buy a product.
Friday, October 1, 2010 at 08:57PM POLST stands for "Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment." It is a next-generation replacement for an Advanced Directive and DNR ("Do Not Resuscitate") order.
Advanced planning documents sometimes turn out to be less than useful, especially in urgent care settings, and many patients receive more aggressive care than they might want because universal, transferable physician orders are unavailable or, simply, not applicable because a patient is in a different care setting.
The POLST form is a standardized form designed to convert wishes for life-sustaining treatments into medical orders.
