They're supposed to be shredded by an insured company after 7 yrs of last information.

If you don't already know how horrible the health care system is,
you'll learn pretty quick after you get old and sick.

I hope whomever authorized & did this get jailed for a long long time!!!

HIPA needs to be reformed asap, across the whole United States.

Shameful. Absolutely unacceptable. All personal health information is supposed to be shredded and disposed of correctly. I hope those people sue the shit out of that company.
