 Was a great show. Unfortunately the massive hostaging of medical data didn't pass by. Was pretty involved into that since the first robbery attempt back in 2015, all insurance companies and governement simply neglecting the highest courts and getting away with it all, until we could show their actions to the public. That stopped it for a little while. With that data they decided who was going to get a loan for houses, what insurance bills were to be pair etc. Illegal according to all judges but highly profitable to the companies. Also they gave non medic (with no healthcare secrecy obligation towards patients) personal free access to highly sensitive healthcare data.We won the first attempt and kept patients data safe back then but now the floot of theft is massive. Insurance companies, our professional representative organisations, the governement itself, to grasp  all this patients data for free now. They play the quality improvement-card. Our small club of independent healthcare professionals who fought for real privacy for our patients (we have a secrecy as medicine peoples), we only back then had money for one lawyer. Each insurance company came with 10+ expensive lawyers (just ask them how much of your money really is spent on healthcare. We found out about 15 % -30 % of each dollar).  Now many of us are ruined by massive accusations of frauding their freely changed rules, protection is gone and in paying to survive for their patients, more than one of the professionals i know and worked 9n the protection of patientsdata are broken. So not enough money for our laster anymore.
