What if everything you thought you knew about HIPAA, electronic health records, and Real ID was wrong? In this explosive episode, Twila Brase — registered nurse, author of Big Brother in the Exam Room, and president of the Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF) — pulls back the curtain on a decades-long government and corporate plan to turn America’s healthcare system into a surveillance and control network.

For over 30 years, Twila has been fighting for medical freedom, privacy, and patient-doctor autonomy. Here, she reveals how the mission of medicine has been hijacked by bureaucracy, how HIPAA is actually a permissive data-sharing rule (not a privacy law), and how federal “Real ID” laws are paving the way for digital IDs, biometric tracking, and even social credit systems in the United States.

In this eye-opening conversation, you’ll learn:

🏥 How the mission of medicine has been replaced by the business of healthcare

🧠 The real purpose of HIPAA — and how it allows millions of entities to access and share your private medical data without your consent

📊 Why electronic health records are more about data collection and control than patient care

🤖 How mandates have forced doctors out of private practice and accelerated the rise of AI-driven medicine

🪪 Why Real ID is an unconstitutional national ID in disguise — and how it could soon be required for healthcare, banking, travel, and more

🧬 Shocking revelations about baby DNA storage, organ harvesting laws, and biometric surveillance plans

🔐 Practical steps YOU can take to protect your privacy and freedom today

Twila warns that we are dangerously close to a system where your body is your ID and no card means no care. But she also shares how we can push back — from refusing Real ID to fighting for real state-level privacy laws — before it’s too late.

Twila Brase is the President and Co-founder of the Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom, a national organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota supporting health care choices, individualized patient care, and medical and genetic privacy. She is a policy advisor for health care to The Heartland Institute. In 2009, Modern Healthcare named her #75 on their “100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare” list. She worked to require parental consent for federally-funded research using newborn DNA. With “Obamacare,” she helped 38 states refuse Affordable Care Act exchanges, stopped government-issued treatment directives, added consent requirements for online access to patient data, and drew awareness to nationwide genetic privacy violations regarding newborn DNA. She is the author of Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health.
