Scary numbers

Regarding the proposed health ID numbers: scary!

The government is too big and powerful in our lives already. Don’t give them another bite, for they will gobble us all before we are aware of what is happening. It’s scary to think of all the things that we will not be able to do is this passes. We won’t be able to use credit cards, cash checks, fly, check into hotels, or go to school without the federal government being notified.

It seems we’re being reduced to being commanded to having dog tags. I am not as worried about privacy of medical records as I am that the freedom we now have is being stripped away. Lena D. Kenney
