Breast Feeding As children are born every day, parents want to give their children every chance at a normal and strong childhood. While the infant is not able to speak or express his or her opinion, a mother takes every opportunity to make sure the infant is medically stable. While the child is being fed by the mother, she is able to use byproducts that are marketed as the best milk for infants or is able to breast feed for natural nutrients from mother to child. While mothers are able to search for byproducts and other resources the main goal is keep the child healthy. I believe there is a negative impact for doctors or any medical resource to share disclosed information about a patient’s record. Medical providers are not able to share private information with a third party administrator unless given a written or oral consent from the patient. HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability of 1996) regulations are set in place in order to protect the patient/client information from being released without proper permission, as constituted by the Code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR 164.532). Authorization required for marketing is stated as, “a covered entity must obtain an authorization for any use or disclosure of protected health information for marketing, except if the communication is in the form of: (a) A face-to-face communication made by a covered entity to an individual; or (b) a promotional gift of nominal value provided by the covered entity.” But by no means can a physician give the information without consent. This is an unlawful act, which is a invasion of information and privacy. If the mother did give consent, I don't believe that it would be a issue but should be given a written contract that describes how the information will be used and distributed, in detail. With discretion, it would be ethical to make money from other peoples' desire to have their children as health as possible. There are mothers who want to strictly be able to breastfeed the child but others who are not able to. For instance, mothers who have “HIV and other serious infectious diseases can be transmitted through breast milk,” as stated by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. However the likelihood of the child becoming infected after one bottle of breast milk is extremely small. It depend who the money was going to, in order to call it ethical. It would be unethical if the doctor or clinic were to make money off of the patient. It would be ethical, when the money is being obtained and going towards an association or research, which was trying to gather funds for the future mothers who were looking for a better resource for child development. When it comes to health insurance, the plans are already processed and conducted under regulations which make it cheaper or more expensive, which allows it to be viewed as a commodity that can be purchased in a market-place. Certain plans give patients a higher deductible and out of pocket in order for the plan to be able to cover by the patient. The patient first has to be able to cover premium and then the out of pocket from the deductible. Once the deductible is covered the patient is left with a co-insurance which is covered by the patient. For example the plans are categorized by premiums which can be seen as the “products” and are being bought at a monthly premium in order to cover the patient and his/her dependents. These base plans can see from lowest to highest, with the benefits and exclusions of each plan. It depends at what security level a subscriber is willing to exclude from the plan in order to make it cheaper or pay the highest amount in order to be fully covered from any exclusion. While the mother is willing to breastfeed or be able to buy a product to supplement the child, the goal in the end is keep the child healthy. I find it unethical to allow third party administrators to see the patient’s information without the patient authorization. If the mother does allow the third party to see their information, then a contract should be given to both parties in order to show exactly how the information is going to be utilized. Even if the mother is not able to naturally breastfeed the infant then an insurance plan should be utilized, to make sure the infant is growing up in a healthy manner.
