Washington, other states sue Trump administration for sharing health data with Homeland Security

The Washington State Nurses Association weighed in as well, saying in a statement, "Patients placed their trust in us, believing this information would be used solely to support their care. Using it instead to penalize those it was intended to protect is both unethical and inhumane."

The association added, "When patients can access health coverage, it stabilizes the system for patients, providers and health care organizations."
