It was essentially gutted in 2002, and you can learn more about that below. Meanwhile, if you put yourself on a do-not-call list for telemarketers, you?ll almost certainly want to join the ?Do Not Disclose? campaign to restore the right to privacy of health information in electronic systems.


Dr. Deborah Peel and Patient Privacy Rights, the leading health privacy watchdog in the country, are leading the Do Not Disclose campaign, to get Congress to mandate it so that we can opt-out of the widespread sharing of our health records.
