It is totally irresponsible to send health care information, which is supposed to by protected by HIPPA laws, halfway around the world where protections are not guaranteed. The health care industry is pricing consumers out of the market and the US is quickly becoming a Third World country in providing health care. Are we really ready for the Government to take over health care? It's closer than most people think. We need to keep our jobs at home.

the cio has stated that this is not happening - but no-one bothers to audit what the cognizant consultants do and they have access to all patient and financial data. molina could not verify this statement and thier auditors do not know where to look

HealthCareCrossing is an excellent resource on Healthcare related jobs. This resource definitely is THE best healthcare jobs website found at http://http://healthcarecrossi ng.com, simply because this is the only research company that tracks down ALL healthcare job openings and consolidates the results and posts them all in a one-stop-shop a.k.a HealthCareCrossing. A prospective job seeker need not worry about the dearth of jobs posted on this listing because this resource is an all out private job board, and this fact overrides the deficiency with public job boards in which the posting of jobs is subject to employers’ paying for the posts, and hence lesser number of jobs being posted. HealthCareCrossing is therefore the best private job board I’ve come across, with the maximum number of jobs being posted each day.
