are claiming that Obama's talk of a national data base for medical records violates your privacy. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but it seems to me a national data base for our health care records could save tons of money and lives. The way things are now if you on vacation and get sick or injured the doctors have no way of knowing what medical conditions you have unless they can contact your primary physician. Wouldn't it be a lot more efficient if you had to go to an emergency room out of town the doctor could just bring your records up on a computer in a few seconds rather than calling your doctors office (providing it's even office hours) to look them up in a 19th century filing system.
