Most investigative requests come with a directive requiring the company to keep them confidential, she said; for those that don't, the company considers "on a case-by-case basis whether it's appropriate to notify the individual." The company intends to begin publishing a transparency report that will include information on third-party record requests starting in the first quarter of next year, she said.
HHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A Walgreens spokesman said the company's law enforcement process follows HIPAA and other applicable laws. A Walmart spokeswoman said the company takes its "customers' privacy seriously as well as our obligation to law enforcement."
An Amazon spokeswoman said the company cooperates with law enforcement requests as required and that such requests "represent a very small percentage of the prescriptions we fill for customers." Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post, and interim Post CEO Patty Stonesifer is a member of Amazon's board.
Rite Aid declined to comment. The other companies did not respond to requests for comment.
Carmel Shachar, an assistant clinical professor at Harvard Law School who researches health law and policy, said that pharmacies hold a "ton of sensitive data" and that pharmacists are probably not trained to evaluate the merits or validity of a police request - or to turn an officer down.
"These need to go to someone who understands privacy law for review," she said. "It probably feels very nerve-racking to get a subpoena and tell the person who gave it to you, 'Oh, you'll have to wait.'"
[ States where abortion is legal, banned or under threat ]
The pharmacy data could be especially concerning for the nearly 1 in 3 women ages 15 to 44 who a Post analysis found live in states where abortion is fully or mostly banned.
In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has warned pharmacies they could face criminal charges for providing women with "abortion-inducing drugs." Kate Cox, a Dallas-area mother of two who sought an abortion after learning her fetus had a fatal genetic condition, left the state on Monday after the Texas Supreme Court blocked a lower-court ruling that would have allowed her to get the procedure.
Some states, such as Louisiana, Montana and Pennsylvania, offer additional protections for medical data disclosure, though federal law enforcement is not subject to their laws.
In their letter, the lawmakers called on HHS to strengthen HIPAA's rules and ensure pharmacies insist on a warrant, which would require law enforcement go to court to enforce such requests.
The lawmakers noted that the tech industry had adopted a similar change in the early 2010s, when Google, Microsoft and Yahoo began demanding to see warrants before providing data on customers' emails.
They also urged the companies to proactively notify customers and to publish regular transparency reports highlighting the volume of law enforcement requests.
"Americans deserve to have their private medical information protected at the pharmacy counter," they wrote.

SAD TROMBONE: The Washington Post is Laying Off Hundreds of Staffers
The liberal propaganda newspaper the Washington Post is laying off hundreds of employees due to 'economic hardship.' What a shame.
The paper has seen a drop in digital subscription revenue and is trying to buy out employees to balance the budget.
Perhaps more people would read the paper if they weren't so obviously Democrat activists pretending to be journalists.

Washington Post braces for layoffs
The Washington Post has been able to attain just half of the job reductions it needs to secure before the end of the year, the newspaper's leadership said this week.
In a note to staff shared with multiple outlets on Tuesday, Post interim CEO Patty Stonesifer said the company had accepted 120 voluntary buyouts as it seeks to cut some 240 jobs across its newsroom.
The Post plans to resort to involuntary layoffs if it does not reach the 240 job threshold by the middle of next month, Stonesifer said.
"These layoffs would offer significantly less generous benefits than the voluntary package and will be consistent with prior layoff packages at The Post," she wrote.
The Post is just the latest in a slew of media organizations that have announced plans to cut back staff and implement other cost-saving measures amid widespread economic hardship in the media business.
John Nolte of Breitbart News comments:
Per the always-upset Washington Post Guild, this loss of 240 liars, I mean staffers, represents ten percent of the Post's overall staff. The Guild also doesn't understand why the Post, which is owned by "one of the richest people in the world," needs to lay people off. Maybe it's just to make me happy? Or maybe the Post's owner, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, bought a newspaper and not a daycare center for crybaby liars that will cost him $100 million a year to subsidize?
I'm just thinking out loud here.
Like CNN, the Washington Post's problems are entirely self-inflicted.

Washington Post publisher Fred Ryan leaves
paper after 9 years at helm
Associated Press, by David Bauder
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/12/2023 2:06:49 PM
Washington Post publisher and chief executive Fred Ryan is leaving the newspaper after nine years in charge to lead a newly formed Center on Public Civility at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, the newspaper said on Monday. Ryan will be replaced on an interim basis by Patty Stonesifer, formerly chief executive of the Gates Foundation and a member of the Amazon board, newspaper owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said. Ryan will stay on for two more months, Bezos said in a memo to staff members. The Post expanded during the Trump administration, in an aggressive transition into digital. Ryan, the former CEO and a founder of Politico,

Well, it looks like I can answer my own question. This came from Wikipedia:
"Originally named the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, the school was founded in 1916 by William H. Welch with a grant from theRockefeller Foundation. The school was renamed the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health onApril 20, 2001, in honor ofMichael Bloomberg(founder of the eponymous media company) for his financial support and commitment to the school and Johns Hopkins University. Bloomberg has donated a total of $2.9 billion to Johns Hopkins University over a period of several decades."
So, what do we know about Michael Bloomberg? Remember "The Good Club"? This is that group of billionaires that got together in 2009 to discuss overpopulation and what they could do about it. The event was organized by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Attendees included David Rockefeller Jr, Warren Buffett, George Soros,Michael Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey. Other invitees included Eli and Edythe Broad; John Morgridge (former CEO of Cisco) and his wife Tashia, Peter Peterson (senior chairman of the Blackstone Group), Julian Robertson, and Patty Stonesifer (former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation). So Michael Bloomberg is associated with people interested in population reduction.

A couple important documents came out of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
1. The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act
https://www.aapsonline.org/legis/msehpa2.pdf
This document became the model for state health emergency legislation around the country.
2. The SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028: A Futuristic Scenario for Public Health Risk Communicators

And this could be the plan for the next big pandemic.

Q Research General #11525: We Never Thought She'd Lose Edition
On the Diane Rehm radio show today, broadcasting on National Public Radio, she interviewed Patty Stonesifer, CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest grant-making foundation in the world.
"But there were two other things that the listener mentioned that I want to talk about and one was the role of religious leaders whether that's through these important efforts on the ground in a country like Zambia, which I'm visiting later this year, or here in the United States. And we are partnering with many religious leaders and those who reach into the religious communities because so much good work is coming from there; so whether it's Bread for the World or Rick Warren's efforts or many of the good missionary efforts we see in the developing world, the religious communities are an important part of not just solving our problems at home but around the world."

Timeline Part 2/13
May 5, 2009 in the President's Room at Rockefeller University: Billionaires meet in secret in New York to solve growing social problems in America and abroad. The meeting was organized by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Attendees included:
Bill Gates
David Rockefeller Sr.
Oprah Winfrey
Ted Turner
Warren E. Buffett
George Soros
Peter G. Peterson, senior chairman of the Blackstone Group
Eli and Edythe Broad
John Morgridge, former CEO of Cisco
Tashia Morgridge, John's wife
Julian Robertson, founder of Tiger Management Corp.
Michael R. Bloomberg, New York City Mayor
Patty Stonesifer, former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
This group calls itself "The Good Club." The meeting was so discreet that the billionaires' aides were told to treat it as a "security briefing." Taking their cue from Gates, they agreed that overpopulation was a priority. One guest said there was "nothing as crude as a vote," but a consensus emerged that they would back a strategy in which population growth would be tackled as a potentially disastrous environmental, social, and industrial threat. In other words, they agreed to take action. There was no one in attendance to represent third world governments. This was billionaires making decisions without the input of citizens. The story was initially told by Niall O'Dowd of IrishCentral and was picked up by other mainstream media.
