Fortunately Social Security numbers aren't used for anything other than Social Security! Right?

Right???



It's fine to use them for disambiguation purposes. It's not fine to assume that just because I know someone's SSN (and maybe their DOB) I am that person.


Medicare replace SSNs with a Medicare-specific ID, seems like a move in the right direction.
