Comments on: Will The Government Monitor Your Bank Accounts? http://healthcarethoughts.com/2009/08/19/will-the-government-monitor-your-bank-accounts/ observations on healthcare, technology and the American way by Brian Sharp Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:33:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Brian Sharp http://healthcarethoughts.com/2009/08/19/will-the-government-monitor-your-bank-accounts/#comment-171 Brian Sharp Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:32:36 +0000 http://healthcarethoughts.com/2009/08/19/will-the-government-monitor-your-bank-accounts/#comment-171 I see your point and fully understand. The issue here in the way the bill is written is that the government may get full access to your electronic banking accounts with an ability to take money out on their time frame. We are talking about something very different that normal drafts from an account. This is the government controlling your account, not you giving permission for a draft to be taken out. The devil will be in the final bill that comes forth, but for me it serves as a major warning signal. If you are still not sure, read the book "1984" again. This is the concern that so many of us have. Thanks for the comments, love to see the participation on the blog. I see your point and fully understand.

I pay lots of bills through Electronic Funds Transfer and I don't feel those businesses are reaching into my personal life. I'm also not saying I agree with the ideas they're throwing around, but to say that using Electronic Transfers of funds is overstepping personal bounds is going a little far in my opinion.
