Typically states - the feds may have rules themselves, but like most things the states are more strict, so that is what we were trained upon - have rules specifically related to abortion and reproductive services that mandate privacy for those services. I was shocked to learn it, but a CSR told me that they could not say what service was provided without the permission of the patient. One case in particular was a daughter who had received an abortion and the most the CSR could say was 'treatment for an outpatient procedure.' The CSR could not be more specific.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-43693896734536186242007-07-28T13:34:00.000-04:002007-07-28T13:34:00.000-04:00And how exactly is it maintaining privacy if the s...And how exactly is it maintaining privacy if the student presents her male instructor (my husband) with a receipt for Plan B from the university health center a couple of days after Valentine's Day as an excuse for a missed class?Literacy-chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925734773412633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-13478641137710334022007-07-27T22:02:00.000-04:002007-07-27T22:02:00.000-04:00I am so glad I did not have a mouth full of coffee...I am so glad I did not have a mouth full of coffee while reading this.CMinorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305306030099439903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-2142315261206943672007-07-27T15:54:00.000-04:002007-07-27T15:54:00.000-04:00Great.

Guess what? If someone else is paying for your medical care, they have a right to know what they're paying for. It's basic. You get as much privacy as you pay for. Simply being a college student doesn't entitle to you no-strings-attached, child-free, privacy-protected sex. In fact, contrary to the unwritten assumptions of the WSJ article, being a college student doesn't entitle you to have sex, period.</I><BR/><BR/>Interesting segue from this. We went to the college funding seminar for our oldest daughter. The lady was talking about all the options and then she got to the part that I enjoyed the most.<BR/><BR/>Seminar Lady: "But your child is considered an adult, and is protected by federal privacy statutes. If you call the school and ask for her grades, they can't give them to you".<BR/><BR/>Me: (Raising my hand)<BR/><BR/>Seminar Lady: "Yes?"<BR/><BR/>Me: "Can we receive the grades if my daughter signs the form authorizing it?"<BR/><BR/>Seminar Lady: (Somewhat uncomfortably) "Yes."<BR/><BR/>Me: "So if I tie... say... spending money to the existence of such a form, I could have access to her records?"<BR/><BR/>Seminar Lady: "Yes. But she can go to the office and revoke the authorization."<BR/><BR/>Me: "Yes, and I can revoke her spending money."<BR/><BR/>Seminar Lady: "That's blackmail!"<BR/><BR/>Me: (Smiling) "Precisely."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-78985627352665968052007-07-26T22:20:00.000-04:002007-07-26T22:20:00.000-04:00I found this take rather amusing:Not only hadn't I...I found this take rather amusing:<BR/><BR/><I><A HREF="http://junkyardblog.net/archives/2007/07/bush-program-un.php" REL="nofollow">Not only hadn't I realized that there was effectively a federal subsidy for drug companies to sell birth control to colleges, I hadn't even realized that colleges actually had found a way to profit from student fornication.
