Oh not only that! Start reading the small print they want you to sign when you go to a doctor. It is appalling! We’ve all signed away our medical privacy for years without reading. I read everything before I sign now.

And I have refused to sign at the last 6 doctor visits of various things. They still have to see you. They word things craftily to make you think if you don’t sign you’re out of luck. The women at the front desk of the allergist I had to take my daughter to didn’t even know what the paperwork said! I refused to sign because they wanted to release my daughters PMI to “protect the president of the United States, and any foreign heads of state”!!! I am not kidding!! It was real. I said no way am I signing that. Guess what? They manually checked me in and I consented to treatment only.

Not every office has you sign that garbage but even my primary care I no longer sign anything but consent to treatment.

They are accessing our medical information because we signed our rights away for years.

HIPPA now includes everything! Not just privacy from your doctor to someone else.

Start reading this stuff people! We have to stand up in every single area of our lives and say NO!
