Bruce Willis has aphasia. Jada Pinkett Smith has alopecia. Michael J. Fox keeps reminding us he has Parkinson’s Disease. People reveal their illnesses in GoFundMe pleas to pay their medical bills. Many people reveal their COVID history or vaccination status.
Is medical privacy obsolete? What is medical privacy supposed to protect, anyway? Do you just want people to not think “icky” thoughts about you if they know you have a certain disease? Are you trying to hide a preexisting condition from insurance companies when health care reform is largely eliminating that factor?
Whatever your concerns, is it worth it to burden the taxpayer-funded legal system with medical privacy litigation?
