The threat to patient privacy and control is nationwide. Most people have no idea how little they have and how much is being taken away. HIPAA does not protect you; it's an "anti-privacy" law and rule. Most conservative organizations aren't yet tuned into the issue. And too many elected Republicans, listening to Chambers of Commerce controlled by health plans, think our medical data should be shared with the government to create a market in "health care quality" and physician "value."
