I'll start with the simple question.... what do MY health records have to do with the government? And further more, if I were a doctor, what would my patients health records have to do with the government?? Nothing!! Why would any government body have any interest at all in "Digitizing" extremely private health information, that is understand by only two people - the patient and physicians. What is there to be had by this? So that if someone per chance arrived unconscious at an emergency room the doctors there would know their history? That's a great idea - but for the United States Goverment to REQUIRE that to happen is a violation of my right to arrive anonymously, unconscious, to the hospital of my choice and be treated as though I have a clean record. Obama and the whole party that elected him into office, to me, is full of all the right intentions.... but reality is really misplaced. $100 billion dollars on forcing me to digitize something that ought to be first and foremost on paper, and secondly, up to the discretion of my physician.

What Lexus is doing is by no means in line with any idea behind the word quality. A luxury automobile is meant for luxury, and by no means should the owner of any vehicle, be implicated in any future purchases unless it comes as part of the vehicle. I can see the folks at Lexus wishing they could sell an automobile, and a load of future purchases that happen every month that have little or nothing to do with the vehicle - or the owner of the vehicle. But being as that would be quite strange and unusual, they are allowing a third party to engage in advertising (which, is really a transaction between Lexus and this third party, creating bonds as though this man or woman does not own the car at all) So does the owner really own this car now? It is not really his or hers but a vessel for future buys. Get rid of this Lexus!! Or one day, I will never buy your car.

Why would any corporation believe it is at all in the best interest of the very idea of quality to engage the owner of their product in some kind of aftermarket in effect binds them to question their own purchase as being sound at all. Lexus knows better than this, considering it originally existed to serve as the highest step above Toyota. And being a luxury automobile, there in no way would be any agreement between Luxury and nasty interruptions.
