including a new bill that we all need to ask them to pass as soon as possible:
Dear Senator: You may or may not know about a recent sale of Medquist,Inc. Transcription Services selling 70% of their stock to an India-owned company as of 5/22/08. In 2007, Medquist fired over 1000 employees to prepare for this sale. CBAY is known for firing US employees and hiring employees in India to do US medical transcription. We desperately need your help to address the issue of outsourcing of US medical records thereby losing confidentiality of our medical information, social security #s, birthdates, and much more, including further loss of jobs for US workers. We urge you to pass the following bill:
S. 810/H.R. 1653Clinton (D-NY)/Markey (D-MA)Prohibits American businesses and health care organizations from sharing consumers personal information with foreign affiliates or subcontractors without consent from consumers. Allows consumers to opt out of having their personal information processed overseas and bars companies fromdenying service or charging consumers more as a result.
Any and all help you can give us in regard to keeping jobs in the US will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely, |
Here is an example of a letter I just wrote to my senator - Fedup
