The records’ seizure could impact up to one in 25 Americans, UPI said.

True but shockingly imprecise. These were stolen from a CA health provider, health insurance doesn't go across state lines, CA has about 33M residents, and it's a fair bet that at least 5M of those don't have health insurance. So "1 in 25 Americans" is more like "1 in 3 Californians who have health insurance".

Whoops, it is indeed somehow all across the country. The complaint also lists “Major League Baseball” and “the Screen Actors Guild” as part of the class action.

The healthcare provider is not named — “John Doe”, but they are based in San Diego. Kaiser Permanente is based in Oakland, FWIW.

Well they focused on exactly who they were after. Responsible tax payers who buy health insurance that abide by the law.
