This doesn't seem shady, the form the tweet posted explicitly said it authorized state farm to request his medical, employment, and other records on his behalf.

This doesn't seem shady, the form the tweet posted explicitly said it authorized state farm to request his medical, employment, and other records on his behalf. The only "shady" thing might be not sending the authorization form he signed with their HIPPA request to show the source of the signature, but revealing he's seeking a long term disability claim could also be a HIPPA violation itself... Regardless, the form says he authorized state farm to do exactly what they did: request his medical records without further approval from him (otherwise he might have needed to fill out each additional requests manually, which perhaps was an option if he declined this, we don't know)

As I stated in the immediately following tweet in the thread, I was not presented with those forms at signing time. I had no idea they existed or that my signature would be applied to them.

> the form the tweet posted explicitly said ... > the form says he authorized ... You seem to be repeatedly missing the point: he claims to have never seen nor signed this form. The "signature" is decidedly pixellized. The claim is that the insurance company put his name on this form without showing it to him, which both defeats the point of the form and is a crime (forgery) in the US.
