The financial data of an individual should be protected the same way the health data is.

If this means more fraud/scam/conmen so be it.

So basically not protected at all?

At least banks will ask your SSN to verify your identity. The health industry just asks for your DOB.

(Example is in the US. Social Security Number, Date of Birth)
