your medical records, along with your SS#, and other pertinent information could be going overseas

Not mine. I pay cash, give a fake SS# if they insist on having one (one of these days just for fun I'm going to see what happens if I claim to be an illegal alien), and I'm never treated under my real name. I learned the hard way what can happen if one's medical records fall into the wrong hands, so I'm taking no chances.

That works fine if you aren't walking in there with insurance. No can do if that's not the case - and contrary to popular opinion - it usually isn't.

I'm afraid you'll have to get your kicks somewhere else - because even if you claim to be an illegal alien - they will (have to) treat you. Once again - contrary to what the libs in this country would have us believe - we are a humane people and no one in this country - absolutely no one is denied medical care. The difference is - US citizens have to pay for it themselves while the illegals don't.
