CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FRACKING NOW!!! (Seriously, check this out)

So it seems as though the medical transcription company I work for has been sold to a company who has a headquarters in India. Just by coincidence, I'm sure, the Indian company is now hiring 500 MTs and 400 QA (quality assurance) workers. Time to look for a job, but that's not why I'm posting this here. If you don't want your SSN, birthdate and all of your medical history going on over to India where, btw, HIPAA laws cannot be enforced, it might behoove you to send off a nice little e-mail to your senator or congressman (or woman) and tell them to start doing something before it's too damn late.

Oh yeah, the company I work for?? MedQuist, second largest MT company in the United States, and they have accounts from all of the major hospitals in the majority of the U.S. Odds are good that the hospital you go to has their transcription done by this company. So yeah, call now or,next time you go to the hospital, some guy in India might end up with all of your personal info.

A hearty fuck you to the Bush assholes who made it possible for my job, which once seemed safe, to be stolen and taken overseas.... now off to bed to dream of January, 2009 and, maybe, better days ahead.
