“This is a landmark bill that will help American consumers by giving them important new rights and protections.

In fact, a recent Gallup poll showed 95 percent of consumers are worried that their health providers or insurers may be sharing their private medical information with others. Beyond this concern, however, they fear losing more control every day over sensitive medical information. No longer will we ask whether you opt in or opt out.”
