Ron Paul is a U.S. Congressman from Texas, who I've been aware of for a few years as a "constitutional libertarian" - fighting against unjust federal bureacratic usurpations of individual and state's rights.

Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Liberty Study Committee Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2000 12:19 AM To: libertystudycommittee List Member Subject: Liberty ALERT/Medical Privacy Dear friend of liberty, Your private medical records and those of your children will soon be an open file - without your consent or knowledge! This is no joke. "An unconstitutional and dangerous rulemaking procedure by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is underway and greatly threatens the health care privacy and freedom of Americans," Congressman Ron Paul (a practicing physician himself) stated recently. The mainstream media have been touting the medical privacy regulations proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), but what they have not told you is that under the proposed regulations the following people and organizations (to name a few) will have access to your medical records and those of your children without your consent or knowledge: 1. law enforcement officials (no warrant needed) 2. medical researchers and students 3. governments agents 4. banks in order to process health care payments and premiums 5. government health data systems. "The proposed regulations do not guarantee true protection of medical privacy. In fact, they are the first step toward creating a centralized database for electronic medical records," according to a special report published by Institute for Health Freedom. HHS will accept comments from the public about their proposed rules until February 17, 2000. Please help stop this unbelievable yet true plan of our national government. Every American needs to know what you now know. Please help with this nationwide, grassroots effort. Go to http://www.StopBigBrother.org today. Government officials and bureaucrats, regardless of nation or time in history, work to increase their power when the populace is complacent during times of prosperity or humble during times of adversity. Please don't be complacent. Go to http://www.StopBigBrother.org now. Please forward this message to family and friends.
