I respect your experience and opinion based on it, but I used to think the IRS was "under the strictest guidelines" to prevent misuse/abuse of our private tax information.

It's the IRS involvement in our medical records that has me concerned. It's not the electronic medical record. It's the misuse of it by politicians using it as a political football to get votes in any way possible under the sun.
