Re 1024. Rick, I find this hard to believe, What about Dr/Patient confidenciality?, or doesn’t it exist in the USA. To me, the Dr who has reported one of his patients has taken an anti smoking medicine, is, A) in violation of the patients rights of confidentiality, and B)It means that the “Can’t be altered in any way shape or form by Congress”, 2nd, CAN be amended when it suits Congress.
If the patient was to be banned, just for taking the anti smoking medicine, under the 2nd, he/she could appeal, as it is an infringement of their RIGHTS under the 2nd.
It seems you can’t have your cake and eat it, unless Congress says you can.

To give you a clue to how screwed up the HIPAA laws are that cover patient records/confidenciality etc… Just yesterday I tried to get a letter from a counseling facility that my kid is supposed to attend.. All I needed was the letter to say that I had made several/numerous attempts at getting my kid enrolled in their program & they can’t even do that under current law. It would be illegal for them to state that I had even called or visited them once…They can’t even legally deny I called either… This causes a slight problem as the frigging Court has asked me to get proof that I even tried to get my kid enrolled there.. So now the court is asking me to get the counseling facility to break the law… & people wonder just how effed up the legal system is in the US…
