What if you're a green card holder and say "Palestine" in the privacy of your own home? We may not be there now but it's not far.

Non-issue. However if you start saying pro Hamas sentences..

I’ve seen privately identifiable information (PII) along with patient records sent over to 3rd party agencies.

A relative’s doctor’s practice just got acquired by one of these private-equity-backed profit-hungry medical chains.

I went with him to an appointment. As a condition of checking in to see his doctor, on a silly tablet at the office, he had to sign away his HIPAA rights for them to sell his charts, along with his identity information, to advertisers or any other third parties. I was beside myself.

Wasn’t long afterward before he started seeing insultingly specific (but medically incorrect) prescription drug ads, almost exclusively, on his TV service.
