239. That's an excellent question....can government agencies share info?

Generally, absent personal medical info, yes.

For example, since I have a professional licensure, should the government be able to access information about me? Like if I speed, do drugs, cheat on my taxes, should it affect my license? Should the government be able to access that info?

Well, if I want a license, yes. A licence is a privilege. Food stamps are a government program, not a right.
