“I was just really angry that that right had been taken away from me, to decide that I wanted information shared. Everything was being uploaded to this database.”-Karen Helms, filed complaint with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights

The supposed Red State conservative leaders of Idaho have been doing something that Obama Care opponents have been warning about; giving away your personal medical data!

It’s called the Idaho Health Data Exchange.  Exchange officials admitted they accessed patient records, unbeknownst to the patients, more than 343-thousand times in September alone.  Officials also admit they get weekly complaints from patients who find out about the data access.

The false republican governor, Butch Otter, supports the Idaho Health Data Exchange.  It began in 2008, and got a $5.9 million USD federal government grant in 2010.  Many states operate similar data programs.

“I understand it’s scary, but it’s a really good thing.”-Matt McGraw, Idaho Health Data Exchange

“What we’re really talking about here is patient autonomy, and they’re taking that away. I can’t believe this is happening, and I don’t agree with it.”-Karen Helms

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013
