Technically the IRS will not have access to health data!!! Right....
All the details coming out point to all agencies sharing this data whenever the govt. feel like it

They will keep tabs on what you owe.
The guy who is the hospital's bill collector, is nothing short of their employee.

That's the point - put everything into electronic databases that can be easily copied and distributed among government agencies, contractors, and their clients. The enormous revenue potential exceeds Fort Knox, but access and data entry are outsourced to Pakistan, guarded by the people Edward Snowden warned about, and hacked by the Chinese. Imagine if Chase bank were allowed to set up its own gold repository inside Fort Knox, commingled, with nobody able to check whether the gold exiting in Chase trucks belonged to Chase or the government - how long do you think it would take Chase executives to find a way to start putting government gold into Chase trucks?

I'm pretty certain that since the healthcare information privacy act passed, Doctors share your information with everyone but the Loved ones(Well anyone) who have the patients best interest in mind.

Last time I went to an American dentist, I started getting spammed by Facebook telling me to "Like" that dentist's Facebook page. Evidently, the dentist had provided my personal e-mail address (and who knows what else) to Facebook for advertising purposes. That dentist had also generated last-minute billing changes, "for insurance" (even though I wasn't using insurance). I have never experienced anything like that with medical professionals in any other country.
A new 253-page Obamacare rule issued late Friday requires state, federal and local agencies as well as health insurers to swap the protected personal health information of anybody seeking to join the new health care program that will be enforced by the Internal Revenue Service.
Protected health information, or PHI, is highly protected under federal law, but the latest ruling from the Department of Health and Human Services allows agencies to trade the information to verify that Obamacare applicants are getting the minimum amount of health insurance coverage they need from the health "exchanges."
