I don't see where they'd need anything other than the billing codes.
You keep this stuff off Google the same way corporations do - firewalls, VPNs, etc. You can't Google my work documents.

If the governments paying the bills whats to keep government officials at various levels from seeing the records. Same with the insurance companies, which already have access. They make you sign a waiver these days, if you're not paying privately, allowing your records to be shared.
I have a feeling that (judging by the way government always works) with the expanding powers of the Federal Government over our health care that those who feel they need to know will form into an ever growing circle.

And you didn't read what I wrote. Yes searchable BY DOCTORS AND OTHER MEDICAL STAFF. It doesn't mean out on the net it means in hospitals accessable by those who have the program and a password. Medical records cannot be put on the internet, it violates doctor/patient confidentiality. Geez Sanity I thought you had more common sense than that!
