Maine has more than its fair share of problems right now, economically. With all of the business closings, and more and more people out of work each month, it can be real tough to get by.

I wonder if there is any way in which we could really prevent this type of identity theft from happening here. What steps could be taken? Maybe photographs on medical cards? Or a photograph in the computer at each necessary office?

Pennie over at the Empty Nest blog had an post that is of interest to all of us on her blog on January 8th. It refers to medical identity theft, and tells us the basic events regarding her 6 year old granddaughter.

I thought that this was important enough to pass along to everyone. I couldn’t afford to pay off medical debts placed upon me in this way, and I don’t think that anyone else could either.
