  11. After the #BetterHelp and #GoodRX debacles, it's important to realize that #HIPAA was never intended as a real #privacy #law at least some of your #healthcare #data is being #sold to #DataBrokers.

    This is one reason setups like GoodRX are able to offer #prescriptions at a lower cost: because the price you pay is supplemented by the information that will be sold about the transaction.

    So please pay close attention to the terms of any medical savings agreement. You may be unwittingly signing yourself up for more than you're supposed to realize.

  12. TITLE: More on BetterHelp Settlement

    I believe this has a bit more information in it than the earlier
    report.  The fine is still "proposed", but:

    -- BetterHelp agrees with the settlement
    -- BetterHelp is banned under the settlement from continuing to share
    customer health data for marketing purposes
    -- BetterHelp continued to do this even after being purchased by Teladoc
    -- BetterHelp denies there is anything wrong with what they did and
    assert that **its standard industry practice**.

  13. Please be careful sharing health information. BetterHelp was caught sending people's mental health information to Facebook/Meta and GoodRx was caught doing the same thing. The US govt is finally taking action on this, but we're a long way from stopping corporations from selling our private information to corporations eager to make money off us.
