It is often healthcare workers who tip off the police in cases in which people are criminalized for pregnancy outcomes: out of 412 such cases uncovered by Pregnancy Justice, 264 involved information that had been disclosed in a medical setting.
Fucking awesome. Hey, you know how you should always be honest with your doctors so they can better help you? Well just also know if you say anything that might be construed as illegal, they can and will call the police on you. Fucking pathetic. I fucking hate it here. What kind of loser piece of shit narcs on their fucking patient.
HIPAA is the worst sort of law: it prevents good outcomes, like publicing known spreaders during a pandemic outbreak, yet fails to prevent bad outcomes like “you don’t need to lie to your doctor.”

Also fun: calling in and you are told your healthcare was canceled, you ask why only to be told that is confidential. Good times.
