Help Pass the Patients' Privacy Protection Act

Your medical records may not be as private as you think.


Should this man be allowed to read your medical records?
John Ashcroft's Department of Justice justified its recent attempt to rifle through the medical records of thousands of women who had an abortion by arguing that there is no right to medical privacy. According to Ashcroft: "Individuals no longer possess a reasonable expectation their histories will remain completely confidential."

Help put a stop to the Bush administration's invasion of privacy! Urge your Senators to cosponsor the Patients' Privacy Protection Act, which would guarantee the confidentiality of doctor-patient privilege under federal law.

Dear Senator,

As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to cosponsor the Patients' Privacy Protection Act, new legislation that will soon be introduced by Rep. Jerry Nadler and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

[Your comments]

The Patients' Privacy Protection Act would ensure that the federal government respects medical privacy by guaranteeing the confidentiality of doctor-patient privilege under federal law. I value my right to privacy, and ask that you cosponsor this bill to protect your constituents.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
