Bottom line: HIPAA DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR RECORDS. They are being shared with IHIE and that must cease and require consent for participation in ALL health information exchanges.

The "Hands Off My Health Record" contains the requirements for an acceptable amendment.

BACKGROUND:
This summer we sounded the alarm that YOUR ENTIRE MEDICAL RECORD was being shared with a non-profit the Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE) without your knowledge or consent.

Worse yet, IHIE is selling access to your records for $17 million each of the last two years...

For now, your info is *only* being shared with medical providers, insurance companies, self insured employers, the state government, and federal government.

Shockingly, this is all legal under HIPAA because federal law allows for "portability" of health records.

HIPAA is the minimum requirement for how your health information is shared, the STATE LEGISLATURE was to take more steps to protect their citizens privacy.

The Indiana Legislature has FAILED to do so.

HB1003 has a portion related to the County Health Department's use of this information and is the perfect opportunity for the legislature to remedy this MAJOR breach of privacy.

1/28/25- I testified to this important issue on your behalf. [To watch my testimony, select insurance committee and the date then skip to 1hr 12 minutes]

The committee recognized the importance and pledged to work on an amendment.

2/4/25- Rep Brad Barrett filed the amendment and I was present on your behalf. I had concerns that they were going to skimp out on protections for Hoosiers and fall inline with special interest groups.

My suspicions were confirmed upon seeing the amendment. There was no further testimony from citizens, however Rep. Bruce Borders was able to speak up for Hoosiers and address concerns with the amendment.

Rep. Barrett's response was essentially that "current vendor" emphasized how strong federal regulations were "in this space" and that he was unwilling to protect Hoosiers right to privacy. 

Rep. Barrett cites HIPAA protections, but remember, your information is currently being shared under HIPAA without your consent or knowledge.

It appears that Rep Barrett's loyalty does not lie with Hoosiers but with the special interest groups generating $17 million per year through the unauthorized sharing YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH RECORD.

Watch the exchange between Rep. Borders & Rep Barrett for yourself. [Select insurance committee and the date 2/4/25 then skip to 8 minutes]

Call the following Senators & tell them,

“Do not reduce the minimum age requirement of 11 for pharmacy vaccination in SB96. Patient-provider relationships are important, kids should not be farmed out to vaccine drive-thrus.”

Alting 317-232-9808
Becker 317-232-9494
Young 317-232-9517
Busch & K. Walker 317-232-9488
G. Walker 317-232-9489
Maxwell 317-232-9984
Dernulc 317-232-9414
Spencer & Jackson 317-232-9847
Niezgodski 317-232-9534

The fall of 2023 we sounded the alarm on "kids vax drive thrus" after a confidential informant notified us that retail pharmacies were being educated on completing childhood vaccine "catch-up" appointments.

Worst of all the Indiana Immunization Coalition was educating pharmacists:

“There are NO UPPER LIMITS on the number of vaccines that can be given at the same time. If a child is behind by 11, you give all 11.”

Much more info can be found on h4ml.org/kids-vax-drive-thru.html

Last year language did appear in SB192 that would not change the age limitation but did open up pharmacists ability to administer any CDC approved vaccination.

I had suspicion that the age restriction would be eliminated via an amendment.

Watch my testimony on your behalf on 1/24/24 in Senate Health & Providers Services Committee on SB192 (2024) Skip to 2 hrs 23 minutes. The screen will say SB 9, but that is incorrect, it was testimony for SB192.

This year the same language is back, with a different author and in a different committee.

Could they have made these changes in hopes that the language, and a potential amendment removing the age requirement would slip past us?

I don't believe that the State Department of Health or Indiana Immunization Coalition have given up on this issue. Evidence of my suspicion is written into HB 1571 that removes the age requirement of 11 for pharmacist administered vaccinations.

We must take action and protect Hoosier children from dangerous Vax Drive-Thrus!

SB120- DNA testing at time of arrest

This bill adds to current language that requires DNA collection at the time of arrest creating a misdemeanor for the refusal to submit to DNA testing.

I testified on your behalf yesterday voicing concerns over genetic privacy and a failure to provide due process.

DNA collection at the time of a felony arrest was instituted back in 2017, which is incredibly disturbing given the fact that the individual does not receive due process and has not been convicted of a crime.

I would love to think that our law enforcement is free of corruption and flaws, but we know that is not the case. I see many ways that the collection of DNA could go wrong.

Further, those not convicted of a crime must have the knowledge and actively seek to have their DNA removed from the database.

DNA cataloging of CONVICTED violent or sexual offenders may be prudent and help catch serial offenders, however due process must be provided. It is constitutional.

See my testimony on your behalf: Select the date 2/4/25, Senate Corrections & Criminal Law Committee and skip to 6 minutes 43 seconds.

H4ML needs YOU to make this happen.

1. Make your best donation. To guide your giving, think about what you might spend on eating out each month—and invest that into medical liberty. Every dollar counts, whether it is $5,000 or $5!
   
2. Join our fundraising team. Be a guest fundraiser and help expand our reach. You will be able to customize your own donation page and link. Best of all, you don’t have to touch a single dollar or handle any transactions! Simply share your link via text or on Facebook, X, or Instagram—every post helps spread the word.
   

Together, we’ve achieved so much. Now, let’s ensure medical liberty’s future in Indiana.

The Indiana State Legislature failed you when the passed a weak so-called "vaccine passport ban. Did they really think that you would believe that HB 1405 was really "the best they could do?"

The Indiana State House of Representatives had multiple opportunities to pass a true "immunity passport ban" to ensure you were blocked from entering grocery stores, restaurants, gyms, etc. They refused to protect your freedoms.

We need your help!

Do you remember our TAKE ACTION campaign? It started in July and we have 550 Hoosiers calling our legislators. We heard back from activists stating that a couple of the Legislative Aids were no longer taking calls due to the influx.

I think we can do better, don't you? Do you think we can fill their phone lines and voicemail boxes? Can you help us reach 1,000 participants? We would appreciate you sharing this message.

Let's make a round of calls Friday 8/27 and then again on our first Tuesday of the month. As soon as we hear when they are in the statehouse, we will welcome them back to the endless sound of phones ringing!

For your call on Friday 8/27 use this or similar, "We are not being worn down by vaccine discrimination. We are being energized and activated! You must TAKE ACTION and FIX YOUR FAILURE by providing Hoosiers with TRUE enforceable statewide immunity passport bans and ending discrimination based on vaccination status covering employees, contractors, students, member, and patrons."

First, call your own State Senator and House Representative. If you don't know who they are visit iga.in.gov/legislative/find-legislators if you still have questions, text FIND to 260-286-0988

Then make 2 more calls to leadership. They will say they don't represent you, but as the head of the respective chambers, they do.

Senator Bray 317-232-9416
House Representative Huston: 317-232-9677

Keep up the good work and don't forget to SHARE!

Thank you for all you do,

Hello Hoosiers!
It has been a little while since I posted, here is an update on all the recent happenings.

Please make sure that you are contacting your State House Representative about Rep. John Jacob’s amendments to SB47! We want them voted on asap.

There has been a lot of confusion surrounding SB47 and difficulty finding it so I wanted to be sure to clear that up. It has nothing to do with children providing consent for themselves. SB47 allows the administration of an immunization for coronavirus disease by a pharmacist and pharmacy technician under direct supervision. Pharmacists/Pharmacy techs can already provide several immunizations, this just adds coronavirus to that this. The bill isn’t harmful to medical liberty but it certainly could use some strengthening and that is exactly what Rep. John Jacob’s amendments do.

Rep Jacob has 2 different amendments fortifying Hoosier Medical Liberty! These amendments need to pass.

1. Stopping the transfer of information from physicians to other agencies without the SIGNED consent of the individual. In more detail: it will prevent a physician or an employee of a physician, physician group, hospital, or other health care provider from disclosing an individual's eligibility for a vaccination or immunization; or add an individual's name to a vaccination or immunization registry or contact list that is administered by: a state agency, a federal agency, a pharmacy, a health clinic or a vaccination or immunization distribution site.
2. Adding informed consent requirements to pharmacy administered vaccinations, including a clause regarding those under Emergency Use Authorization. Strengthening informed consent law for physicians and other providers including information for vaccination and Emergency Use Authorization.

It seems as though the other members of the House of Representatives do not want to vote on these amendments. The House Sponsor Rep. Davisson has “passed” on the bill 3 times since the filing of Rep. Jacob’s amendments. We have heard that he “does not support the amendments.” The proposed amendments are straight forward and clear cut. We have even heard that some members of the House have stated they are “common sense” and “better than the bill itself.” We need to make sure that we bring attention to the issue so that our Representatives are informed about this important issue.

You can also sign our Resist the Registry petition here!

March madness is here! We have a group who would like to gather and rally to educate in the area. It could be the V4V banners or using V4V signs around the stadium. If this is something you are interested in please email us [email protected]
 
H4ML near me! Are you ready to meet with people in your area who share concerns over Medical Liberty? We have officially started to launch this part of our organization. We have a few coordinators who have stepped up but we would like to have a few more. If you would be interested in coordinating a local meeting please use the volunteer sign up. If you would like to sign up for notifications of a meeting in your area you can sign up here.
 
Want the upper hand in politics? Time to take a Political Leadership class from the Foundation for Applied Conservative Leadership! The class is a day event including a light lunch. I will continue to sing the praises of this organization because it is what truly lit my fire, gave me hope, and the tools to be successful in political battles. These classes have been popping up around Indiana and you do not want to miss them.
There is a class once a month from April to June throughout the state. April 10th will be in New Albany, May 15th in Fort Wayne, and June 19th in Anderson. Get more info here. It is also my understanding that Merrillville will also be hosting a class. In addition to these, I would love to see classes scheduled in West Central Indiana and South West Indiana. If you would be interested in helping host one of these events please get in touch with me, I will help you get started.
 
Thank you again for your support. I look forward to continued success and growth with all of you.
