How Will the Federal Medical Privacy Rule Affect Patients'
Control Over Personal Health Information?

March 27, 2002

All told, the forthcoming revised rule is going to set the federal standards for who can legally access each and every American's personal health information-including genetic information-with or without individuals' informed consent. Citizens will have only until April 26, 2002 to submit comments to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regarding proposed changes to the privacy rule.

Join us for a panel discussion to find out how the proposed changes will impact patient, government, and industry control over medical information.

When:	Tuesday, April 2, 2002 2:00 pm
Where:	National Press Club Lisagor Room 529 14th Street, NW Washington, DC
Panelists:	Sue Blevins, Institute for Health Freedom Lisa Dean, Free Congress Foundation Tom Miller, Cato Institute Jim Pyles, American Psychoanalytic Association Kent Snyder, The Liberty Committee
