One more benefit of the new health care law brought to you by lawless and clueless Democrats. Online medical records are easily accessible to hackers, criminals, and data brokers. See e.g., Marc Goodman's book, Future Crimes.

Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is flagging ESPN and its reporter Adam Schefter for posting his private medical records online to millions of readers.
Pierre-Paul, 27, sued ESPN and Schefter in a Florida court Wednesday, citing a violation of his privacy.
The NFL player blew off a finger in a July 4 fireworks mishap and was treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, according to his lawyers Mitchell Schuster and Kevin Fritz.
Schefter “improperly obtained” Pierre-Paul’s medical chart showing the defensive end had his right index finger amputated and posting the record on Twitter to nearly 4 million followers, the suit says.
[. . .]
The reporter said he tweeted the image of the medical record to bolster a story about the surgery.
Schefter, 49, who lives in New York, is a regular contributor to ESPN TV programs like “NFL Insiders,” “Monday Night Countdown” and “SportsCenter.”
Pierre-Paul’s Miami Dade County civil suit, which does not specify money damages, says that while the player’s injury may have been “a matter of legitimate public concern,” the “chart was not.”

New York Giants Jay Bromley Interviewed By Manhattan's SVU, About Rape Allegations

New York Giants' Jay Bromley

[From article]
New York Giants defensive tackle Jay Bromley is facing possible assault charges after a woman accused him of raping her during a date that went horribly awry in a Midtown hotel.
[. . .]
Bromley and the woman have both spoken with investigators, with detectives from the NYPD Special Victims Unit interviewing Bromley Saturday, sources said.
The woman and Bromley [. . .] met via Instagram, ­according to sources.
Bromley, 23, picked up the 26-year-old woman at her Brooklyn home Friday, and the two hit a hookah bar in Manhattan.
They ended up in a room at the Hyatt Herald Square hotel in Midtown early Saturday.
“She said she willfully performed oral sex on him,” a source said. But then “something took place where she didn’t want it to take place.”
The woman started vomiting, and the sexual contact stopped,
[. . .]
An infuriated Bromley then forcibly grabbed the woman, turned her around and began having sex with her against her will, the woman alleged to police investigators.
“The victim told Mr. Bromley to stop, but he kept going,” the source said.
[. . .]
The woman was treated at Roosevelt Hospital. Saturday afternoon, detectives escorted a woman, her head and face covered by the hood of her jacket, in and out of the hotel.
A credit card in Bromley’s name was used to pay for the room, a police source confirmed.
[. . .]
Bromley, who grew up in ­Jamaica, Queens, played in 16 games for the Giants last season and notched 36 tackles.
The Syracuse University star signed a four-year, $3 million contract and is set to make $605,000 for the 2016 season.
[. . .]
Bromley was a crack baby born to a drug-addicted mom. His pimp father was sentenced in 1994 to 8¹/₃ to 25 years in prison for manslaughter after beating a prostitute and tying her to a basement radiator.
When Bromley was 3 months old, he was abandoned on a stranger’s doorstep in Jamaica. His father’s sister took in the boy with her family and raised him as her own.
He played football at Flushing HS and earned a scholarship to Syracuse University.
“They’re not going to give away money for sob stories, I don’t care how bad someone’s story is,” Bromley told The Post for a 2014 profile. “They ain’t just drafting people just because they got good stories.”
“You don’t forget where you come from or the things you see growing up.”

Bobby Thomson's Home Run

[From article]
"Later, when it was revealed that the Giants had been stealing signs from the Dodgers most of that summer, when in fact it was intimated that Thomson hit his famous homer because he knew exactly what was coming, Thomson shrugged his shoulders and smiled."

[From article]
"The setup, according the account, went like this: Former third-base coach Herman Franks was stationed in the team's clubhouse, overlooking the field in deep center, with a telescope. Observing the opposing catcher's sign, with the press of a button he sent an electrical message via telephone to the bullpen -- one buzz for a fastball, two for an off-speed pitch. Then a reserve in the bullpen in right-center, visible from the batter's box, would gesture the pitch type to the hitter."
