I’m quoted in this article by the Daily Caller’s Caroline May on New York’s paternalist chief executive. Another memorable Bloomberg health-nanny moment: his health department’s edict ordering labs to report high blood sugar readings to the city whether patients want them to or not, the better to pave the way for “interventions.”

Wouldn’t HIPAA throw a monkey wrench in Bloomberg’s plans?
Not too hard to predict that many people will either avoid seeing the doctor or will go to an out-of-jurisdiction one. Will Bloomberg then demand mandatory local testing?
BTW, if Bloombeg is, in effect, saying that the condition is by choice and can be prevented via intervention, then wouldn’t an employer be justified in refusing to hire someone who has it?
