Personal Health Data on the Net: States Address Privacy Concerns
National Conference of State Legislatures [NCSL] Link to more items from this source

'This is a surprise to almost everybody. People expect that their health records are subject to [privacy] laws… and for the most part they are -- when those records are held by doctors and insurers. When you agree to give your records to a third party there may be no privacy protections that apply at all.' To protect patient confidentiality, states are beginning to act. To date, Alabama and California have enacted privacy protections.
