Question about project 2025
How will it affect healthcare privacy?
Answer
The platform proposes to roll back protections implemented in the wake of the Dobbs decision that protects people who seek out abortion care by making sure medical providers cannot be forced to give out personal health information about a patient without a court order or police request. They call it fear mongering to shield health information from being provided to anyone with the potential to endanger the health and safety of someone seeking an abortion. It wants to go as far as removing the protection entirely by issuing more rules, so healthcare providers cannot offer abortion services, even if it's legal.
