Medicos don't need all the info they ask for
I have to agree with the top rated comment with the above captioned subject. The health care providers go by the name on the Insurance Card anyways, so if they rely on that information; the insurance card, then, the social security name and card number is redundant. California has passed a law that protects the social security number from giving out. And yet they (the healthcare provider) want to squeeze every bit of information from you because they know in most cases resistance is futile for the patients. Let them know your rights when you resist. Do not become a part of one of the "most victimized" patient. Caveat: Don't give in, don't give out.
