illegal for hospitals to expose/sell this information. not illegal for FB to receive it. the moment hospitals/providers start selling it there will be some business out there trying to aggregate and data mine it. be it FB or google or amazon, the key thing is hospitals are break the law by exposing it even if they do it for some really silly instrumentation benefits.
