I am writing as a deeply concerned constituent regarding recent public statements made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in which he suggested that the Trump administration may be accessing large volumes of medical records for the purpose of using artificial intelligence to investigate the causes of autism. As an individual who has never consented to the use of my medical records—or those of my children—for such purposes, I am alarmed by the implications this could have for our rights to medical privacy and informed consent. These are fundamental ethical and legal protections that must not be compromised, regardless of the administration in office or the research goals being pursued. I respectfully request your assistance in the following: 1. Clarification: Can you confirm whether any federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, are currently collecting or using Americans’ private medical records without explicit consent for AI-based research or other purposes? 2. Oversight: What safeguards are in place to ensure that medical data is not being accessed or utilized by the federal government in ways that violate HIPAA protections or individual consent rights? 3. Action: What steps can I take to ensure that my personal medical information, and that of my family, is not included in any such research efforts without our knowledge and consent? This is not a partisan issue—it is a matter of basic civil liberties, trust in our healthcare system, and the protection of sensitive personal data. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate this matter and to advocate for the preservation of medical privacy for all Americans. Thank you for your attention and service. I look forward to your response.
