El-Sayed believes healthcare decisions should remain between patients and their doctors, and that government should not interfere with people’s healthcare choices. He supports keeping healthcare data private and limiting state and federal access to cases where the data is needed to provide healthcare. He also supports protecting providers from government coercion over sharing data or providing or withholding care they deem necessary.

In their own words

Healthcare data must remain private, and state and federal government should have no right to access your data unless it’s for the purposes of providing you healthcare.
