Reply #27: If they don't already, they should

[kedrys]

We don't hang out with the s.o.'s side of the family, but my mother-in-law is alleged to have said repeatedly that databases and any sort of gathering of personal information in a consistent and centralized manner, no matter for what purpose, is the ultimate mark of the beast. Colorful description, but it makes you think...

I remember those good old days as well - less than 10 years ago. We were assigned some alien creature we've never met as our new Primary Care Provider this time around, because the web site glitched and wouldn't let me pick a doctor. Come to find out, after calling to get our regular GP back, that he's no longer in the plan, even though he's listed on the HMO's website. Don't get me started. :grr:
