It likely fell under a permitted disclosure, as the AG stated they were pursuing a billing fraud investigation. Maybe still a case, if the disclosure was unnecessarily broad though.

Per Health and Human Services:

Health Oversight Activities. Covered entities may disclose protected health information to health oversight agencies (as defined in the Rule) for purposes of legally authorized health oversight activities, such as audits and investigations necessary for oversight of the health care system and government benefit programs.

There's a lot of context. Basically, there's been a few weeks of controversy over whether anti-lgbt viewpoints would be allowed. This post (along with the removal of two admins) was a statement that anti-lgbt viewpoints are explicitly allowed on the site as long as they avoid slurs and direct incitement of violence. With a site population that leans pretty far left, this didn't go over well at all.

I'm out camping right now, and know of a dozen species of edible wild plant within 100 feet of me. I guarantee early humans knew of more edible plants than I do, and ate them regularly.

No argument from me! Love watching them roam around. We have some massive flocks around us. It's impressive when the whole flock takes flight! Had probably 30 of them fly right over my head once - something startled them from the opposite direction as I was walking down the road and they all cruised right over me.

Turkey vulture for sure. I always think they're cool birds to see. They're huge!
