I know you were attempting to draw a parallel, but the difference is that the DMV is a government organization (part of the DOT), and your medical provider is not. There are different expectations of privacy. Which is close to the heart of the issue.
- asdff 4y agoYour medical provider provides plenty of information to the state at their behest as it is. Chances are that started with your birth when your birth certificate was made official. Sensitive medical information is not being used to solve crimes here, they aren't looking for people with certain conditions etc. They are asking if a sample matches another sample in a database and to what proportion they are in agreement. That's it.
