A coalition of Democratic lawmakers is demanding that the Trump administration and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) withdraw a controversial plan to collect detailed health data on federal employees.
The proposal would require insurers to provide claims-level medical records, raising concerns about privacy and the potential misuse of sensitive personal information. Lawmakers argue that this level of data collection is unprecedented and could put millions of federal workers at risk. The move has sparked significant backlash, with calls for the administration to halt the initiative immediately.
The controversy centers on balancing government oversight with the protection of individual privacy rights.
