You expressly allow that sharing of information when you use that service.

Also anonymizes healthcare data is neigh impossible to reconstruct so I don’t understand your claim.

Do you have any proof?

it has been repeatedly shown that deanonymized healthcare data is not hard to reconstruct. HIPAA defines a series of identifiers that have to be scrubbed, but it's not enough to prevent reidentification by a motivated adversary.
