Re: Stop your personal medical details going nationwide UK National Health System and maybe even internationally

[Guest guest]

Hi, i don't know if you still live in Canada, but the Canadians are

selling medicare details companies to the states, if they havent

already done this. I remember a big froo ha ha over it and yes, you

are right, all these countries seem to be " standardising " their lack

of freedoms for the common man.

I sure as heck dont want my son's details to be used as a tool by

the government and I sure as heck dont want bill gates sticking his

nose in MY business.
