CHC was hacked by a hacker collective called AlphV. United Healthcare (CHC’s parent company) paid a ransom of $28m iirc, which AlphV allegedly rug pulled. So the hackers that did the hack itself didn’t get paid and retained the data. Wild ride. Nation-states would definitely be interested in medical claims data at the scale of CHC. One of the payers is called CHAMPUS, which covers active and retired service members and their families. This is indicated on the claims. So leaking these claims gives access to where service members live and who their family members are. Since military bases in the US tend to have specific units and specialties, you can get a good approximation for how the military is allocating its strength. Plus you know who to blackmail.
