Koch Brothers-Based fringe Group Using ‘Extreme’ Ads to Scare Young People Away From Obamacare...

A conservative group whose funding traces back to Palm Beach’s own David Koch and his brother, Charles, is urging young people to “opt out” of buying health insurance next year.

While the ads’ message has upset many, it’s the group’s actual ads that are provoking the most outrage. They feature separate videos of a young woman about to undergo a pelvic exam and a young man about to undergo a prostate exam at the hands of a creepy, big-headed Uncle Sam puppet...

2. So the 1% know that the NSA is in your healthcare, too? /nft

7. If the NSA can crack encryption, what does that mean for HIPPA?

Personally identifiable information is sent encrypted over the internet. If you communicate using encrypted data, you could be a terrorist. If the NSA decodes that data to find medical data inside, are they in violation of HIPPA? I believe HIPPA intends that the accessing of data is to be done on a need-to-know basis, and here, I assume "need to know" means "in the course of your employment in or with the medical industry." The NSA is not in the medical industry. No worries, I'm sure they can get a court to excuse the oversight.

11. Here are some answers for you...

...I wonder (as a doctor) what all this means for the privacy protections afforded by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) in our new era of mandated electronic medical records. Are such privacy protections credible at all?

It doesn't seem so.

Now it seems everyone's health data is just as vulnerable to federal review as their Google search data....

3. These ads are great. College kids all over America are going to look at these

and laugh their asses off.

Yes kids, Forget health care and just add a yearly fine to your already increasing debt!! It's the wave of the future!!

4. The rape analogy couldn't be anymore obvious.

It's like the Burger King puppet doing creepy shit (BTW, that character was really creepy when BK was using it in commercials).

Anyway, "ObamaCare" isn't an "insurance co"... Do they really think people are this dim-witted?

5. I thought the same thing. It's like THIS guy showing up in your exam room...

6. Right! From the "Party of Less Government"™...

...that wants to legislate:
* required vaginal probes for women seeking abortions
* required drug testing for welfare recipients
* required state issued I.D.s for voting

Anything else the "Party of Less Government"™ wants to use more government for?

9. +1

10. You have a thought here, show GOP doing the vaginal probes and a real Dr doing male and female

Exams. One could look like Ted Cruz and another like Louie Gomhert, now that would scare the hell out of me.

8. Maybe we should run an ad showing the Koch Brothers thinking how they thought this ad

Would serve to discourage anyone from signing up for health care. Maybe like Frankenstein characters to be the Koch Brothers.
