I guess if people actually saw what the federal regulations were, likely fines, absolute annihilation of a health care practice/facility/ambulatory center/pharmacy...etc for violations of HIPAA (just for starters, state laws are additional), they wouldn't feel so threatened. One thing I'm keeping an eye on is the ARod lawsuit. MLB could be in a world of shit for this.
I think a Dr. would have his license revoked for violating the confidentiality statutes (but don't quote me on that).
The punitive repercussions for breaching confidentiality must be severe. I know they are in Law and Finance.
