Is any of this supposed to surprise us? Details from Maryland’s ObamaCare exchange:
Should you decide to apply for health coverage through Maryland Health Connection, the information you supply in your application will be used to determine whether you are eligible for health and dental coverage offered through Maryland Health Connection and for insurance affordability programs. It also may be used to assist you in making a payment for the insurance plan you select, and for related automated reminders or other activities permitted by law. We will preserve the privacy of personal records and protect confidential or privileged information in full accordance with federal and State law. We will not sell your information to others. Any information that you provide to us in your application will be used only to carry out the functions of Maryland Health Connection. The only exception to this policy is that we may share information provided in your application with the appropriate authorities for law enforcement and audit activities.
Which authorities? Enforcing which laws? Audit activities? What the hell does that even mean? What that last line tells me is, the government can and will share your medical information with pretty much whomever, and for whatever reason.
Are you in compliance, comrade?
