They can subpoena any medical records they want and the keeper of the records. The witness will state they have the records but will be unable to release any information without written authorization

You have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about.
YOU ARE WRONG!
I deal with these issues frequently, you do a huge disservice to other Freepers by posting out right falsehoods.
Any Judge, with proper Jurisdiction, can subpoena any medical record needed for any legal purpose.
Medicare does it all the time
Medicaid does it all the time
Private insurance companies do it all the time.
Fraud cases, and false workman's comp claims, and other issues are ALL cases where such records MUST be produced under the order of a Judge.
