I don't mind at all and in fact I kind of like it, as if it is THIS important, so it needs to be written down.
Especially now in the big push for electronic medical records, computerized records that follow you for life, like your credit report, I am glad that I bypass the nosy insurance company whose motives are not my well-being.

Darn right Echoes--- I personally believe EMRs are Orwellian hell! I've seen them misused before and I don't care for the direction we are taking. Our laws are not protecting the patients privacy and furthermore, we don't have the protection in place to prevent misuse and theft of our personal details that will follow you around your ENTIRE life. Just ask GOOGLE what could happen...
Especially in this era of Copy and Paste--- accuracy will be lost, more so than ever before.
I hate the price of privacy Echoes, I really do, but it is worth it to keep the damn insurance company minions out of my private life. I do not want to become a part of that "aggregate data" collection sample again.
