New York City’s largest public health system has spent close to four million dollars on Palantir, a company known for its work with the Pentagon and ICE.  

The deal began in 2023, giving Palantir access to patient records so it can help hospitals track payments and boost revenue from Medicaid.  

Critics point out that Palantir’s software also powers surveillance tools used by U. S. intelligence and immigration agencies, raising concerns about privacy and data misuse.  

The contract allows Palantir to remove identifying details from health records, but experts warn that re‑identification is often easy and could expose sensitive information.  

Local activists argue that using a firm tied to mass deportations to manage medical data is risky and unfair, calling for the city to end the partnership.
