"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Your post clearly indicates that you can't wrap your head around what that tag does for someone and the help it gives the caretaker if one is necessary.
I guess you do have a comprehension problem! Lean just a bit to the right and perhaps you will begin to comprehend! I said I agreed....several times....do you not compute? I said to check with the government officials for clarification. Nobody cares about your 'opinion' on the issue. Get the facts!
And how do you know whether I have a child with a disability or not? YOU DON'T!!

Mobile is right. It is an invasion of privacy. Why aren't the HIPPA laws attached to this? Medical information is a PRIVACY issue. Once again Mobile gets it and everyone else is trying to understand. Your infirmity or illness does not need to be public record for all you vultures. Handicap =Privacy.
here is a little test?
does the town have a written HIPAA policy for all town employees no.
In the absense of policy the application becomes the policy
so the next question
Does the data meet the criteria of the aplication? no - if no diagnoses, then the document fails the test
and do various employees have acces to the clerks office? yes and untill last week non-employees - ie new sign "authorized personel only"
and just by looking you can see boxes of documents of "god knows what"
common med office proceedure is ALL doc's in locked file cabinets at the end of the day ALL doc's face down shread all daily working paper(notes, postits) at the end of the day All PC screens not in public view
and.... how about that employee handbook?
do not give anyone your username and password. than it says you must supply your supervisor your username and password - a pure violation of HIPAA -
so Who gets to pay for this ongoing SCREW UP
NOT "SueM2342(adia or afia)" but us "The Town of Rotterdam"
and the town has known since Appril 14, 2001
btw - T9.com. - before there was a QWERTY keybaord on my phone
Talking to each other is better than talking about each other
It is not just 1 person but a required 3 votes to put something on paper
Get ready for "The Great HIPAA act of 2010"
Where is Santabarbara?
A follower (submissive) (like Obama) will blame the previous administration, a leader will make it happen. It's obvious to me which we have sitting in the big chair at town hall.
boomer what ethics? There is legal and illegal. If the records are public they are public and are subject to foil. If they are not public they are not subject to FOIL. If you don't want people to know your information, don't apply for the government's help. You want to talk ethical: how ethical is it to expect the government to spend money and give you a bunch of stuff, and the public not having any right to know how tax dollars are being spent?
Or, if you REALLY want to talk about ethical, how ethical is it for a notary to notarize documents when the signer isn't there, when the supposed signer has actually been dead for years?
GL- if EE knew that was the case do you think she would have done it? Of course not. She thought she was helping a senior citizen who could not come in. The real culprits are the people who tried to dupe EE. Medical information is PRIVATE information. Your SS# is required for things too. Do you want the public to have your number? Stop already with the EE controversy. You guys are beating a dead horse. Most of the general public is backing Eunice. The only ones with their underwear in a bunch are the Reps. They just can't believe they've lost.

you just convicted her.....ok,,,,medical information private--from whom???? so isn't being DEAD medical information.....so having NOT verified the person's legitimacy either dead/alive, w/c bound, cardiac, dementia, diabetic etc.....she is WRONG.....
NO ONE duped/set her up.....she knows the office and it's policies/laws/regulations-----THAT'S WHAT I FREAKIN' PAY HER FOR....along with the guaranteed CSEA crap....
I guess you dont mind footing the bill of DEAD people....do you??? go ahead feel sorry for their family and heirs,,,,YOU GO KISS THEIR BUTTS AND HELP THEM.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
