“I had the right to request and restrict as to how my protected health information was used or disclosed. However, when I declined to sign, the computer stopped, and prompted me to talk to the receptionist. She informed me that diagnosis and/or treatment “may be conditioned upon my consent.”
Overall, this Tennessean article summarizes well yesterday’s House Oversight Committee hearing on the IRS rule that Jonathan Adler and I write about here and here. Unfortunately, the article does perpetuate the misleading idea that the nation’s new health care law is “missing” language to authorize tax credits in federally created Exchanges. (The statute isn’t missing anything. It language reads exactly as its authors wanted it to read.)

Remember how Obama was presented to us about five years ago. He was above politics. He just wanted to bring us together. While politics was small and petty, he wanted to heal our troubled nation, clean the environment and lower the sea levels. (As I recall he would still allow the sun to set in the West.) When he took office he recognized that our economy faced monumental challenges, however, he refused to be diverted by what was of concern to every mere mortal in America. He had bigger, legacy-making fish to fry. Ergo, his health care remake and the regulating of the rest of the economy. The intelligencia swooned. Finally, a president they could admire.
