Protect Private Medical Information

The Issue

SIGN THE PETITION

Did you know that it's completely legal for your pharmacy to sell your prescription drug records? Employers, insurance companies, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies and marketing firms are all willing to pay top dollar to take a peek at your prescriptions.

The multi-billion dollar business of selling prescriptions may be keeping you from fair and honest health insurance coverage, or keeping you from being hired if a company believes you or your family will be too costly to insure.

Discrimination based on private health information is wrong. Whatever happened to doctor patient confidentiality? Shouldn't that also apply to your pharmacist?

Selling prescription information shouldn't be legal, and Americans deserve privacy protection. Tell President Obama it's time to take prescriptions off the market.
