...because I'm fascinated to hear Progressives have to answer for the nightmares they've long argued for.

And I am not against information being digital. I'd like it if my doctor could electronically transmit my information to me, or people I designate. What offends me is it being sold for other people's profit.
My solution is for federal law dictating that such personal information be the sole property of the individual. It would only be up to the individual to determine if it could be transferred or sold to a 3rd party. Anyone stealing information or selling personal would be violating federal copyright law.
As for ID theft, it was a big problem even before records went digital. Doctors offices, hospitals, etc are filled with people, largely transient, with complete access to your personal data.
