Medical Firm Sues IRS For 4th Amendment Violation In Records Seizure

Posted by timothy on from the tell-me-again-why-you-hate-all-that-is-good dept.

cold fjord writes "A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans ... [The unnamed company alleges] the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges. The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said. And information technology officials warned the IRS about the potential to violate medical privacy laws before agents executed the warrant, the complaint said." Also at Nextgov.com.

    If you read it, you would know.

    Nancy said we had to "pass it to find out what was in it". When you are a jillionaire insider trader, like her, you don't care what it says. You can buy your own hospital if you don't like ObamaCare.

    I sure don't give Obama or Bush a pass. They both are cut from the same cloth. We desperately need a third party here in the U.S. One that is middle of the road and is neither (Republican) the American Taliban or the (Democrats) spending my children's and grandchildren's future giving away free Obama phones and free Obama money (no taxes for 47%) to buy votes. Some people work... some people vote.

    You mean the CIA agent who was exposed by Richard Armatage (not Cheney, Rove or Libby).

    BTW, Richard Armatage is a Clinton-ite.

    But nobody was allowed to read the bill until it was voted into law according to Nancy Pelosi.

    but most of them pay a bigger percentage of their income in taxes then Mitt Romney does.

    True, but how many years worth of their full salary does Romney pay in taxes in a single year? For some, it's a life time of earnings. That's why this "fair share" talk from Obama is nothing but crap.
