Most people require a certain amount of privacy.  Everyone holds a certain information about themselves to be personal and to be shared with only people whom they trust.  This is the major cause of medical privacy issues.  Because doctors’ offices and hospitals keep records on each of their clients, the issue becomes, who has a right to access these records?  The widespread use of databases and other technology to maintain this data has caused the medical privacy issue to blow up at an even greater rate.  Now, not only do insurance companies and billing agencies have access to your medical records, but hackers can now access them also.
