Prolly find "insurance billing fraud" in a high percentage of bills submitted by the for-profit medical services industry.

Did the TN goobers seeking to harass trans people just use that pretext to get the records?

And if the records were obtained to investigate billing fraud, can they then be scoured for other alleged crimes, e.g. any medical care the TN religious police want to delve into? Abortions?
