The whole Rush thing pisses me off. It's a matter principle and constitutional rights. He _has_ the right to privacy with his medical records. he hasnt been charged of anything, he admitted his drug problem, and he's cleaned himself up. Look at the rediculous amounts of work it takes to release a medical record. When I was trying to get into the military, every page had a disclosure warning, and I had to make sure that whatever I put could be made available to the gov't.

As a matter of principle, Why would a drug addict go to get help if they're going to be investigated or charged with a crime when they do so? Shouldn't addicts be encouraged to do exactly what he did? You go after the dealers and crooked doctors, not the addicts.
