Hi combjelly; I think the reason for the commented out code is that it was to give notice to the public that using the internet to tell the government about your healthcare situation is somewhat less private than writing it onto the back of a post card. The public should know this, but the company felt obliged to inform them of the fact. Then the government made them remove it. It's not the image of safety that the government wants to project to the public, LOL. "Internet privacy" makes about as much sense as "military intelligence". The company that did the software pointed the finger of blame at the government for making a lot of last minute changes. This was probably a very minor example. -- Carl
