100% this. I just visited an urgent care center yesterday for some strep tests. I was given an electronic signature pad and told to sign for "consent to care". No documentation was given to me on what I was signing - just that I needed to sign.
I had to ask for a paper copy of the form I was signing, which was handed to me. That document said that "I acknowledge receiving the privacy notice ..." Was that given to me? Of course not. Asking for that - well let's just say I think I was the first person to ever ask for any of this documentation. I'm sure my information has been shared with 30 other entities - for a strep test. It's insane and unenforceable as a patient who just wants to get shit done.
