"She said more than 2 million members have signed up to use Kaiser's own online health records service, My Health Manager, and the agreement with Microsoft will dramatically expand availability of online health information, services and tools."
"People today do a lot of things for their health outside of a formal healthcare system."

I find this a little worrying. They are going to hold several million health records (which I assume hold enough ID for ID theft to be zero problem). Now, I know it's not a Govt project, so there's half a chance that they've got decent security in place, BUT, health records with an insurance company ?? Does NOT sound like a good mix to me....

I think that each person should be given a CD with their own records to keep and should be up to the patient as to which doctor they chose to give their information.
I don't like the sounds of medical record being linked to microsoft!
Thanks STONERS!

I have to agree with texangelwings on this. I had a badly pulled leg muscle from the foot to the back end from pulling a sugar pallet. the next two days it got to where it was getting worse. At the time I pulled it it wasn't so bad, after a week of it I had to go to the emergency room. the insurance on the job only covers office visit to the general practitioner. I couldn't prove it was the pallet I pulled that did it. I sent the bill to my insurance co anyway and they wrote me back saying it was a pre-condition and they couldn't cover it. I have never had a muscle pull in any of my legs ever, never been treated for one till then.
