We need universal healthcare. What. Will. It. Take.
The removal, probably by force, of the conservatives in power.
By all accounts this includes most Democrats.
He did say remove conservatives…
Correct
There are a few that seem ok but most must go
After we’ve tried literally everything else. And even then it’ll just be the government paying insurers instead of paying the hospitals directly.
How much is a hipaa violation?
Cute of you to think any body is getting in trouble beyond a nominal fine.
AT&T leaked my shit all over the internet, but I’m still paying them for the honor
They’ll give you 3 free months of identity monitoring. Retail rate: $3. Wholesale: $0.01. They’re so thoughtful.
This brings me up to 10 years of credit monitoring from all my other data breaches combined. Ffs
We did not sign up for the power bottom role for this clown regime but boy ohh boy that coercive power of the state and poverty will make you do things for “daddy”
The federal government leaked mine and I had to lock my credit and change my social security number to get it to stop. Can’t stop paying taxes though. That’s how they getcha.
Depends on intent, motivation, and the level of negligence. Literally, there’s a sliding scale.
HIPAA violations can come with jail time btw
Unless you’re only a person when it comes to bribing Congress
How is it a breach if data was shared intentionally? This is a violation of confidentiality.
Wtf, breaches aside why would a health care company be working with advert companies?
Literally free profit for them with zero consequences?
I’m sure they’ll be hit with a fine equal to 0.01% of their profit for the year.
Basically, the scene in which Mr Burns pays the fine and buys a statue of Justice
Believe it or not, the article explains.
Who could’ve seen this coming?
I know many people will shit on Kaiser for being a health insurance company, but as a person who has work through Cigna, UHC, Humana, Kaiser was the only health insurance that I felt people were being helped, had access to that help. With no hassles.
It’s a fucked up system, but kaiser was one of the few I would take a slap for. Everyone else can get shit on.
It’s the Costco of health insurance, and given the competition, that’s a good thing. Literal one-stop-shop for healthcare is pretty fucking nice in the world of networks, specialists, referrals, and “coverage”.
But yeah, they fucked up here.
If I’m not mistaken, Kaiser Permanente is a co-op (or maybe just non-profit? I forget), which would explain why they treat their employees like human beings.
I’ve long said that Kaiser is great, but should not be: the service they provide should be the baseline everyone gets, not exceptional by comparison.
Everyone deserves what they provide, or better. But it’s nearly impossible to find anything in the US that’s even as good as them without paying unholy amounts of money
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.
