Here's the article about the class action lawsuit - https://themarkup.org/impact/2025/05/02/after-markup-investigation-linkedin-and-google-face-lawsuit-alleging-improper-access-to-health-data
For those affected specifically by Covered California, although I wouldn’t be surprised to see suits for other states pop up
While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that's handed out for getting caught.
More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don't care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.
