Why are they suing Epic and not the provider 💀

The US has something called the medical age of consent, which is different than when you legally become an adult. It allows kids to limit what their parents can access even if their parents are still their legal guardians and share insurance. This is helpful in many cases where the kids might be living under an abusive household. If a parent is an anti vaxxer for example, with the MAOC, it’s still possible for a kid to get a vaccine without that parent finding out. Or access abuse help. Etc

Idk why tf they’re suing the company, that might just be conservatives being stupid. The point however is to get parents access to those records so that way abusive parents can abuse their children

Yeah at first it sounds weird to have a different age of consent for medical reasons, but when you read more into it then it makes way more sense why it’s a thing. Kids being able to access vaccines, abuse help, hrt, or other stuff is really important if they live under abusive parents

They’re suing the company because once the child hits that age, the company blocks the parents access. The child is given their own account instead of being under the parents’, and unless the parent makes that account before the child by stealing their identity (like mine did 🫠) then they no longer have access to their records without consent from the child
