We didn't have enough medical privacy to begin with, but now the Trump regime, Big Tech (all of it), and Big Medicine are going to utterly shred the last vestiges of privacy.

Because they can. And because big money will be made by screwing the rest of us.

@dangillmor I guess you know that regional hospital networks have been doing this for a decade or more. Mckesson and epic are the main purveyors of systems. The regions cross state lines already but generally don't interoperate. (And to top it off, the HIPAA stuff is just paperwork promulgated by consultants.)

My view is that most people have no idea what the current state of play actually is.

@dangillmor People absolutely do not understand that HIPAA does not apply to companies that aren't health care providers.

@dangillmor

A medical record system which enables secure transfer of private data is essential to better health outcomes. However it only works well when all citizens have a tightly regulated health system as opposed to the wealth extraction entities masquerading as health insurance companies in America

@dangillmor „Earlier this month, the federal agency agreed to hand over its massive database, including home addresses, to deportation officials.“ 🥶
