ok...I mentioned this last week, but didn't see ne replies...so, what do u all think about the fact that we may only have florescent lights to light our homes with?

Especially since they seem to affect many of us adversely....

Carolyn...it wasn't always like this...but, there were people that sued for invasion of privacy bcuz a message was intercepted by a soon to be x...from an answering machine....so, bcuz of the litigious nature of people we have this awful bit of red tape to deal with.

I feel the biggest problem is the Judges allow these frivolous suits to even be allowed to go to court...oh well...so now we have to deal with this and many other things have been decided on this type of issue as well....sad state of affairs I am afraid.

Just to compare...that seems really strict to what we have here...I don't think we have anywhere near the privacy laws here!! Of course, we are all covered under the same basic medical so we don't have insurance issues either. When I called to get my blood work all I had to do was give my carecard # over the phone and then she would verbally give my results!! I'm not so sure if it's a good or bad thing?
PS( I would be absolutely irate if someone held medical information about my child from me!!)

Barb my sister had the same problem getting info on her own son too!! This is just nutz, I understand we need privacy measures in place, but enuff when it is  ur child, goodness what if the child had a life threatening condition and this kept the parent from getting the child the much needed care and treatment?....who would be responsible?

here's a good one! I got a statement from the insurance company today denying a diagnostic test that my son had, so I thought I would call the insurance co.and find out what it was for and why it was being denied. After I gave the gal all of my info she put me on hold and when she came back she said that they were denied, and I politely replied " what diagnostic test are we talking about," as both boys were at the doc that day for routine check ups. She replied, " I can't tell you that ma'am it is against our privacy policy to disclose that information."  I said ARE YOU KIDDING ME, HE  IS A MINOR CHILD,MY MINOR CHILD AND I Would like the information please. She politely told me to call the doctors office for this as they are the only ones that would be able to give out the information. WHAT a load of CR**  So I called our Doc office and said Hi this is your favorite high maintenance patient calling with another insurance dilemma. I explained this to her, and she said that this is happening more and more. So great, now we can't even call the insurance company to inquire about why something isn't covered for our kids cause its privileged info. Thanks for listening,
Barb :)
