My co-worker's son is on Aetna health insurance. Since she knows his SS#, she logged on with it and could see all his claims. Anyone who obtains his SS# can do the same thing.
Many health insurance companies use your SS# as your ID# and they print it right on your insurance card.
HIPAA is a start but it has a long way to go.
