You know how certain stores have “store brands” since e.g. _Threshold_ sounds like a way cooler brand than “Target-brand cheap fitted bedsheets”?

#Congress finds #pharmacies give patient records to #lawenforcement without warrants
Sen. #RonWyden urged the Biden administration to revise #HIPAA rules to better guard #Americans’ pharmaceutical records from #warrantless law enforcement requests.
Researchers looked at #CVS; #Walgreens; #Cigna; #OptumRx; #Walmart; #Kroger; #RiteAid; and #Amazon #Pharmacy; None of the eight require a warrant prior to sharing #patientrecords.
