How REAL ID will turn all of America into a giant HMO
It's not hard to see why. Many Americans hate REAL ID, and 22 states have refused to comply with the program. DC Downsizers alone have bombarded Congress with 112,227 message demanding that REAL ID be repealed. So...
Should we be happy that Napolitano wants to review the Real ID program? Not very. At best, we believe the outcome will be to:
Concoct ways to bribe and coerce state governments to submit to the revised program
It's hard to envision that REAL ID will really disappear, until or unless we compel Congress to repeal the authorizing legislation. In fact, we believe that REAL ID, in one form or another, is part of a grand scheme to empower the federal government to track everyone and everything at all times! This grand scheme includes:
We believe that all of these programs will eventually be combined to give the Feds "total information awareness."
Are we being hysterical? Many would claim that we are, and they could point to aspects of current government plans that fall far short of being able to "track everyone and everything at all times." But such criticisms miss a crucial point. The evidence is overwhelming that government programs...
Tend to grow larger
Nearly always come to include features the politicians promised they would never have
We predict that, should some version of REAL ID come into existence, it will eventually be combined with all the other tracking and surveillance systems described above. Most importantly...
We predict that your REAL ID will be combined with universal electronic medical records to control the kind of health care you receive.
We see the writing on the wall, and it says that the federal government is going to turn the entire United States health system into a giant HMO, with all of your medical procedures controlled by far off bureaucrats. This control will be enforced through something resembling Real ID, tied to your electronic health records.
Is this what you want? If not, please use our Educate the Powerful system to ask your representatives to repeal the REAL ID Act. Use your personal comments to object to...
