The government and your prescription privacy

Take a look at this LJ entry:

I'm not too thrilled with government seeing all anexity, depression, sleep and painkiller prescriptions, especially since many of them can be for short term chronic conditions.

Wow. Someone is snippy today.

I wasn't meaning to start an argument, and I hardly think that what I said was incentive for the lengthy response.

And, as to your comments above; are you nieve enough to believe that stuff isn't already recorded? Futhermore, the information CAN be shared at any time (ALREADY) with due cause and/or a search warrant. I guess I just fail to see what the problem is. But, I'm sure you'll clarify this for me.

::rolls eyes:: You're neither my mother nor my grandmother, so I really don't feel the correction is necessary.

And yes, I do tend to get testy when people can't be bothered to read what's written.

::shrugs:: Then consider it not aimed at you. Consider it aimed at people reading, who might think you knew what you were talking about.

And yes, that's snippy too. But you were patronizing, so now I feel completely justified.

No, not really. I don't need my forehead flattened any more than it has been after 10 years on the Net.

I read it.

I give what I get (in terms of patronization).

And, it's always amazing to me how people refuse to justify their stance. Buh' bye.
