The high profile ones where guys went to prison was SSDI fraud. This was a smaller one & perhaps my use of 'prosecute' was a bit inflammatory - they suspended certificates and other things within their purview, but I don't think anyone went to prison - it was just a side bar in the study anyway. I'll see if I can dig up the study - I thought I had it bookmarked, but can't seem to find it right now.

The bottom line is the FAA petitioned congress for unfettered access to VA medical records in the interest of air safety and used this study to gain it. They were granted access in the summer of '11.

Obamacare has sort of exacerbated the issue with the requirement for online sharing of all medical records. Still waiting to see how that shakes out, but the one thing we can all count on is we won't be able to go to one doctor for one thing and another doctor for another thing and not have each one know about the other visit anymore...regardless of our reasons.
