As a retired federal employee who still uses the FEHB for my main health insurance with Medicare Part A, I protest giving the federal government my personal medical information. It's a violation of the HIPPA law to give out our personal medical information without our permission. Trump's cronies don't need my personal data and I want to sign on as a class action lawsuit to stop them from doing this.
