Warning: Big Pharma Gives Away Americans’ Medical Info To Law Enforcement With No Warrant

It has been just revealed all over the MSM that the big pharma is giving away the medical info of Americans to law enforcement without a warrant. Check out this urgent matter below.

Big Pharma’s latest moves

Lawmakers have raised concerns that big pharmacies in the US are sharing citizens’ private medical information with law enforcement agencies without obtaining a warrant.

According to Democratic Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, Democratic California Representative Sara Jacobs, and Democratic Washington Representative Pramila Jayapal, law enforcement agencies are accessing thousands of Americans’ prescription records each year without legal review.

They are urging the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to increase its regulations and enforce the requirement for a warrant to obtain citizens’ data, in order to protect Americans’ privacy.

“Through briefings with the major pharmacies, we learned that each year law enforcement agencies secretly obtain the prescription records of thousands of Americans without a warrant,” the lawmakers wrote.

“In many cases, pharmacies are handing over sensitive medical records without review by a legal professional. Although pharmacies are legally permitted to tell their customers about government demands for their data, most don’t. As a result, many Americans’ prescription records have few meaningful privacy protections, and those protections vary widely depending on which pharmacy they use.”

The surveyed pharmacies, including CVS Health, Walmart, Walgreens Boots Alliance, and Amazon Pharmacy, are not required by federal law to obtain a warrant before distributing records to law enforcement.
