Moya, I must agree with your repeal idea. I just spent an hour with a small independent insurance agency who handles a lot of small employers health plans. After we went through the basics of what he would need to do to cover good faith needs of his BA contracts, I asked him how he had approached any GLB requirements that might apply. The glazed look in his eyes was enough of an answer.
I've become a fan of the EU's method of considering personal privacy a basic human right. For the most part, your info can't be used or traded or sold without your affirmative opt-in. While it would probably not be appreciated by our sophisticated marketing companies, I venture that most plain folk would like it a lot.

The impact of Sarbanes-Oxley has yet to be assessed in combination with GLB, HIPAA and the regs being put out by all the federal agencies. I have, for a very long time now, advocated repeal of all these various laws in favor of one umbrella privacy/security law. Thisi multiple compliance problem is far most costly than HIPAA alone and will cause more and more problems. Moya T. D.
