[...] P.P.S. I think medical privacy is important. I don’t want the government to get NEAR my health records, let alone “may investigate the affairs of a Gateway, may examine the properties and records of a Gateway, and may require periodical reports in relation to activities undertaken by a Gateway. A Gateway shall fully cooperate in any investigation conducted under this paragraph.“ [...]

[...] Most people, though, want to give Obama the benefit of the doubt, because they’ve staked so much hope and good will on him. So even though they don’t necessarily like where he taking us, and they’re becoming increasingly dubious about his spending habits, they still take him at his word when he makes a speech about his next sweeping policy change, like ObamaCare.

Here’s the deal with NSA…if a foreign organization is regularly contacting a medical facility regarding it’s patients, then allow the Gov. to intervene.
The NSA was set up to keep foreign terrorists, and infiltrated domestic terrorists.
It still works with the HIPAA and other agencies. If potential terrorism, say biological, is suspected then let them push aside the “4th” and carry on.
Apples….Oranges…
Investigating someone for potential violence and terrorism, is different then finding out if someone is “cheating” the system…people don’t see that as being different?

Those of us who oppose Obamacare will be treated like the “global warming deniers”; mocked and ridiculed and, finally, ignored while congress and the press continues to fellate lord Obama.
And you still think we can wait until 2010 or 2012? Every day I see more evidence that it will be too late by then. Freedom is on a respirator and Ogabe is holding the plug.

Basic problem: Health Insurance is NOT Health Care!! So this entire effort is mis-chartered: we don't need better Insurance...but some (not "all" or even "most") people need better Health Care. Making the government the only payer will destroy both insurance companies and the medical profession. Who would want to work for someone who signs a contract to pay you a certain amount and then says "sorry, we're short of cash so we're only going to pay 50% of what we contracted for"? Medical innovation will be non-existent once the government gets to decide what research is undertaken and also gets to decide which outcomes will be approved. New drugs will be guaranteed to be ineffective, because (in the typical government wisdom) absolutely no side effects will be tolerated.

I’m a little confused. Did you (Ed) determine the “gateway” was the provider, or is the “gateway” the contracting agency for the government to process applications and claims as in Medicare? If it is the latter, the Government is fully justified in imposing the questionable terms, because that will be in their contract (and probably is now). However, If the “gateway” is truly the provider, then I can see your 4th amendment point. Remember, any company that contracts as an agent of the Government is subject to full disclosure and audit.
