And here’s a reminder that ERs in some states are required by law to ask about your immigration/citizenship status. The cruelty is always the point.
Also, they’re not even requesting it be shared directly with the government. That apparently isn’t enough. They’re requiring that the personally identifiable information (names, addresses, diagnoses, etc) also be shared with an independent contractor. An independent contractor that these hospitals have no confidentiality agreements with, no privacy guarantees from, and no security audits to review. They’re being required to send all of their patents’ PII to this shadowy contractor, so that contractor can do throws hands up in the air and gestures around wildly with it.
The things that pass for people in his inner circle will realize something is different if rigor mortis temporarily gives him the illusion of a backbone.

Gotta involve some contractors so that they can add grift and profit to their racism and fascism.
Some very horrible fucker out there is making millions on a contract to collect and collate this data.

There's a very easy way for the government to get citizens health records: Nationalized healthcare.

Don't worry about Mitch. Mitch is cooler by the second and problem-free.

Hopefully the admins at the hospital don't immediately and cheerfully capitulate.
