Where I go to get therapy they have just announced last week,they've joined in with a fed program to tie physical health care to mental health care on the surface it sounds 'innovative'.But I have a feeling it has ulterior motives.

This bugs me especially considering the stuff that happened recently my regular physical doc recently.He takes Medical assistance.I used to see the guy,Dr.Ishak then one day I was switched to a lady doc a "new hire" she was cool,seemed to have her shit together on health issues .This thing happened like a month ago I find out after I had vented my frustrations to her and said some stuff about my hated of the 1% politics to her on my way out,I was told by another staff she was "ex nsa".Now I'm fucking pissed and scared.Why would a nurse practitioner who just got hired, suddely when Ishak has the same staff for 8 years be coincidentally 'ex'Nsa? WTF.I kinda blotted it out of mind but now that there is this Insider threat bullshit,I don't know.
Because I got ptsd,I have a political stance and Sometimes what the govt.does pisses me off, or triggers me I'll rant to keep myself together.I feel like this federal support may come with some unsavory strings attached. I know the so called elites see people like me as a useless eaters but on top of that the ptsd,and the politics,I don't feel all that good about going there when the federal assistance and new 'staff' get there.Also the NSA probably has my entire psych history,twenty times over. Fascism indeed it makes me so fucking mad,disgusted and despairing.I feel targeted,maybe not directly but who knows it might be.

It makes me wonder now if all that HIPAA paperwork we had to sign years ago was authorizing our medical records for govt perusal too...
either way, it's just wrong, man. I sincerely hope you can get the care you need without being put under a microscope...

(11,925 posts)I am anti-authoritarian to the core.I tend to get into instant fights with these fuckheads.I can snif them out before they even talk to me,with my intellegence level,creativity and other stuff, that I have been told over and over make me unusual by shrinks galore that have put me through shitloads of tests,and my fathers military involvement and what the military did to me years ago,.I just might be targeted.I dunno what to do.
I have been tortured by mental hospitals. I survived it and didn't break.

I took out the 505 and it still won't link so I copied and pasted the actual exception to the rule here.

Quote from the Hippa...
For certain other specialized governmental law enforcement purposes, such as:
To federal officials authorized to conduct intelligence, counter-intelligence, and other national security activities under the National Security Act (45 CFR 164.512(k)(2)) or to provide protective services to the President and others and conduct related investigations (45 CFR 164.512(k)(3));
