Gee, I’m so glad that I “opted in” to have my private medical data used for corporate research!

How did I “opt in”? My healthcare provider migrated to Epic for all medical records. I had the “choice” of… not receiving healthcare, I guess? But even then, all my past records were imported to Epic anyway.

And before you “market choice” folks start squawking: your provider changing their records system is not a “qualifying event,” so you don’t get to shop for another provider until the next enrollment period. Also, ALL of the providers available to me use Epic.

That's some Epic clusterfuck of healthcare service
