I am writing to demand immediate answers and action regarding reports that the Office of Personnel Management is seeking unprecedented access to the medical records of millions of federal workers, retirees, and their families. According to recent reporting, this proposal would require insurers to provide detailed, personally identifiable health data including medical claims, prescriptions, and treatment information on more than 8 million Americans. This is deeply alarming. Medical records are among the most private and sensitive information any person has. The idea that a federal agency could collect this data in bulk, without clear safeguards, transparency, or consent, raises serious concerns about privacy violations, abuse of power, and potential political targeting. Experts have already warned that such data could be misused, especially given the lack of clarity about how it would be stored, protected, or used. This proposal appears to push the boundaries of what is acceptable under laws like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which are meant to protect Americans from this kind of exposure of personal health information. I want to know: Do you support this policy? What steps are you taking to stop or investigate it? How will you ensure that federal workers and their families are protected from potential misuse of their medical data? Your constituents deserve transparency and accountability. Silence on an issue this serious is not acceptable. Please respond with a clear position and the actions you intend to take.
