• Johnson: Privacy in health care is not optional (illinoissenatedemocrats.com) — Buffalo Grove’s State Senator Adriane Johnson is pushing legislation to remove testosterone and estrogen prescriptions from Illinois’ statewide monitoring database, arguing that residents’ medical privacy should be better protected. Her bill would erase existing testosterone records by 2027 and stop the state from cataloging future hormone prescriptions, while leaving information in patients’ medical charts for their doctors’ use.
