Will ObamaCare Medical Data be used in Political Battles?
The IRS is tasked with enforcing ObamaCare, and what happens when people's private medical records start getting leaked for political reasons?

I also worked with a volunteer ambulance, during that time. There was an unwritten rule that if you ran a call to this clinic, you'd kill the siren a couple blocks away, so's not to draw attention. I remember one paramedic who would make a point of blaring that thing all the way into the [...]
