Since 2010, HHS has documented more than 1,000 major data breaches (where each incident involved the compromise of more than 500 patient records). Now we’re starting to see some in-depth analyses of those breaches. In the new issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), there’s a study that concludes that 29 million medical records were compromised between 2010 and 2013.

The JAMA study also found that six of the breaches involved at least one million records each – and more than one third of all breaches occurred in just five states: California, Texas, Florida, New York and Illinois.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
