Texas AG sues Epic Systems

The Texas Attorney General files suit against Wisconsin based Epic Systems. Ken Paxton, who’s challenging incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn in the 2026 Texas Republican Senate primary, filed the suit last week against Epic, the medical software company which employs some 13,000 people at its campus in Verona, outside Madison. The lawsuit accuses Epic of being a “woke corporation” utilizing “anticompetitive” practices to maintain a “monopoly.” Paxton also charges Epic with “restricting parental access to children’s medical records.” An Epic spokesperson said the action is action is “flawed and misguided” and that “decisions about parental access to children’s medical records are made by doctors and health systems, not by Epic.” Paxton previously filed dozens of lawsuits against the Biden administration and attempted to overturn results of the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin and other states.
