      The removal, probably by force, of the conservatives in power.

        I’m assuming you are including establishment democrats under the “conservatives” umbrella here.

        When the Romney’s Republican healthcare plan called “Obamacare” was proposed, it had the public option in it. Joe Biden immediately removed this provision for “bi-partisan compromise” - this happened before they even began negotiations over the bill.

      After we’ve tried literally everything else. And even then it’ll just be the government paying insurers instead of paying the hospitals directly.

      Depends on intent, motivation, and the level of negligence. Literally, there’s a sliding scale.

    How is it a breach if data was shared intentionally? This is a violation of confidentiality.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    U.S. health conglomerate Kaiser is notifying millions of current and former members of a data breach after confirming it shared patients’ information with third-party advertisers, including Google, Microsoft and X (formerly Twitter).

    In a statement shared with TechCrunch, Kaiser said that it conducted an investigation that found “certain online technologies, previously installed on its websites and mobile applications, may have transmitted personal information to third-party vendors.”

    Kaiser is the latest healthcare organization to confirm it shared patients’ personal information with third-party advertisers by way of online tracking code, often embedded in web pages and mobile apps and designed to collect information about users’ online activity for analytics.

    Over the past year, telehealth startups Cerebral, Monument and Tempest have pulled tracking code from their apps that shared patients’ personal and health information with advertisers.

    Kaiser spokesperson Diana Yee said that the organization would begin notifying 13.4 million affected current and former members and patients who accessed its websites and mobile apps.

    The health giant also filed a legally required notice with the U.S. government on April 12 but made public on Thursday confirming that 13.4 million residents had information exposed.
