Why are you willing to let a federal politician or bureaucrat have access to your health record?

I am surprised that, in the current “health care” debate (it’s actually sick care, but who cares) nobody has ever bothered to ask the question, who is entitled to know what went on between you and your physician.
The government is not entitled to know what you say to your lawyer, or your confessor.
When did it become OK for them to know what was said between you and your doctor.
Think of the politician you hate the most. Trump? Hillary Clinton?
Think of the agency you hate the most. The IRS?

And they get to make a phone call and find out some of your most intimate secrets.

That, in my opinion, is not only immoral, it is a source of great peril to individual rights and privacy.

And yet, nobody seems to think it is a big deal.

Why?
