Secure Health Data

IDEA CATAGORY: Healthcare

Problem

Health insurance companies have become prime targets for hackers and foreign governments looking to steal highly confidential personal data of American citizens. 

Solution

Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff co-sponsored legislation that requires health insurance companies to develop a comprehensive information security program to safeguard the personal information of their enrollees. The bill provides these companies with minimum consumer data privacy requirements that they need to meet, but allows them the autonomy to decide what they need to do in order to meet those requirements.
