The above is locked but I thought I should provide an update. This healthcare provider has been successfully sued for allowing patients data to be scraped off of websites used to communicate with doctors etc. Facebook and Google are mentioned. Virginia Mason is settling for 3.5 million dollars, $45 of which shall be mine :>
As one pointed out to me here, this organization - https://themarkup.org/ - was responsible for pointing out this need for accountability.
I was going to get extra benefits from BCBSA, but I decided against it when I see that they require a voluntary authorization that allows them to not be subject to federal information privacy laws. I can revoke the authorization, but that is only after they get my information I guess. And that information they get is not subject to my revocation request.
