Answer 1

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was passed. This law was aimed at protecting workers' benefits on their health insurance even if they change jobs or lose their jobs. It also protects workers with preexisting health conditions, and lastly as relates to our question, it ensures that the privacy of personal information concerning health is secure.
