    I got a letter in the mail just the other day that a software company that manages my medical data had a data breach that potentially compromised my SS, DOB, driver’s license number, patient id, medical history, address, phone number, and basically anything else that could be stored by a hospital on its patients.

    I got to a section of the letter that said in a subtitle “What are we doing about it?” followed with and im paraphrasing cause I don’t have the letter on hand…‘We contacted law enforcement and our security system is now more secure than ever before’

    Cool thanks. Now can you do that before all my info is leaked next time? And maybe offer more than just 2 years of complimentary identity theft monitoring.

    Edit: Keep in mind that I had no choice in whether this company got to handle my data. The hospital I am essentially forced to go to because of insurance coverage uses them for storing patient data. The next hospital closest to me that my employer provided insurance covers is 60 miles away.

    Every election is somehow the most important ever and for some reason we are always in danger of the end of the world or something.

      You can/should try to understand how that’s logically sound

      For example, if you never exercise and eat terrible shit your entire life, you can expect every doctor’s visit to be worse than the last. Same with the dentist or going to the mechanic when you fail to do required maintenance.
