"The people I speak with have serious concerns with HF 1760 and HF 1341. There is a concern that people will be given coverage on the basis of their genetic make-up (or their political clout). If someone is prone to sickle cell anemia, and that someone gets cancer, the MDH the angel of death may soar over his or her door. This is especially true when we look at every other socialized medicine camp. Most recently, the elderly in Britain are told to be more accepting of their fate.

The government has no right to take Baby DNA by force. The Constitution did not outline any such power for a federal government. If the 4th Amendment had a vote, it’d vote “no” on this illegal search and seizure. Due Process would also have something to say about this too.

This slippery slope has been identified as eugenics, and its ethical standing has been repudiated by history."

"To be plain, SF695 and HF 1362 has some issues. The people I speak to have serious concerns about our medical records complying to national database standards. Logically put, our medical records are ours, and they are not federal. Elderly people are especially concerned because in the UK (and other countries) they tried Universal Health Care, and now there is not enough to go around so the elderly are told to be more accepting of their fate. When it comes to Universal Health Care, the grass is not always greener on the other side... especially when the bureau sends the worms out to get you. Please protect our data from bureaucratic peeping toms."

"SF 1462 and HF 1554 begins to instill doubt upon me as to the intentions of the Minnesota Health Department's intentions. It adds powers that would allow the MDH to "quarantine" anyone for any particular reason for an indefinite period of time. I am undeniably curious as to why the MDH, an unelected oligarchy, feels it needs this almost unlimited power. I request a reply."

We have to act fast, so if you don't have time, just copy/paste from me. I tend to do separate letters for separate issues.
